The Globe and Mail noted that it is "a volatile group, taking its tenor from the passionate trumpet and flugelhorn playing of leader Curson; his is a very human sound, its expressiveness heightened by the vocalized quality of the slurs and abrupt turns of his phrasing."[6] The Bay State Banner panned the "sloppiness," writing that the album "sounds almost nightmarish in spots."[7]
DownBeat reviewer Brent Staples wrote, "The order of the day on The Trio is open space... All of the cuts are solid".[4]
