The AllMusic review by David R. Adler stated, " this album is an obscure classic of hard-hitting, post-bop New York jazz ... A collector's item, and a terrific listen as well."[5] John Kelman's review of the rereleased box set on All About Jazz noted "Mosaic Select 32: Pendulum Live at the Village Vanguard may be thirty years old, but it remains one of the most exciting releases of 2008".[6]
