Critical reception
Peggy Oliver of The Urban Music Scene writes, "It is hard to fathom that thirty years have passed since the single “Najee’s Theme” and the supporting album blazed the R&B and jazz charts, which for a debut recording was a remarkable accomplishment in itself." She gave the album 4½ out of five stars.

The New Pittsburgh Courier did a piece on Najee and remarked about the album, "Najee became a top name in instrumental and jazz music circles after releasing, “Najee’s Theme” in 1986."
