AllMusic	[4]

The AllMusic review by Alex Henderson stated "One of the many impressive albums he provided in the '90s, Journey, Man! finds the trumpeter leading a band he called Hard Corps and employs a cast of players you'd expect to find on a hard bop date ... And in fact, hard bop and post-bop are exactly what the sextet plays ... But Walrath isn't one to limit himself creatively, and providing an abundance of Jazz Messengers-influenced arrangements doesn't prevent him from taking it "outside" ... Although not as daring as some of Walrath's other albums, Journey, Man! is a rewarding date from a trumpeter who refuses to be predictable".[4]
