The album reached No. 55 on the Billboard Top LPs chart.
The most widely known song from this album, "Birdland" by Weather Report, won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Fusion. Best Jazz Fusion Performance in 1981. Jon Hendricks wrote lyrics for the vocalese version on the album and Janis Siegel received a Grammy for her vocal arrangement of "Birdland".
The New York Times wrote that the album "carries their exploration of group harmony to a level of seriousness that finally establishes them as the legitimate heirs of Lambert, Hendricks and Ross and the Hi-Lo's."
