The Allmusic review states "it isn't the ideal follow-up to Black Widow that Schifrin fans might have hoped for. That said, the album has enough strong tunes and enough of a consistent sound to please hardcore Lalo Schifrin fans and anyone who loved Black Widow".
Allmusic 3/5 stars
The song "Roller Coaster" would be re-recorded and released on Schifrin's soundtrack to the 1977 film Rollercoaster.
