In a review for AllMusic, Michael G. Nastos wrote: "'Country and Eastern Music' and 'Steppings Tones' were high-water marks for this new breed (at the time)."[2]

A writer for Billboard called the album "an exceptional first effort," and commented: "It fully shows their influences on the group's sound as they play every instrument on the album. Each of them is an excellent musician and ably displays it."[3]
