The Allmusic review by Rick Anderson states: "most noteworthy of all is the quality of his compositions. 'Pendulum at Falcon's Lair' is a piece of world-class bebop writing, while 'Tamalpais Love Song' is almost classical in its structure, achieving a counterintuitive combination of complexity and simple beauty".[4] In JazzTimes, Duck Baker wrote: "This 1953 date is a highly-arranged, lightly-swinging affair that features nice soloing".[7]
