The Commercial Appeal called McDuff "one of the genre's masters" of "soulful organ jazz".

All About Jazz said that "it's McDuff's blues themes that have the most flavor and excitement". The All Music Guide to Jazz noted that McDuff "proved to still be in his prime". Modern Drummer praised Tate's "flair for playing in small organ groups" on the "top-flight The Re-Entry." The Grove Press Guide to the Blues on CD said that "the griddle sizzles quietly with the soul-seasoned jazz and blues".
