The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars stating "His interpretations are so self-sufficient that one does not miss the other instruments, although it is quite easy to "hear" the bass and drums behind the soprano... Highly recommended".[3]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz nominated the album as part of its "Core Collection" of recommended jazz recordings.[4][5]

JazzTimes stated "the entirety of Lacy's art is to be found in compacted form in solo concerts like 5 X Monk 5 X Lacy"[6]
