The Hartford Courant praised Adams's "muscular but lithe attack."[5] The Ottawa Citizen wrote that "Metamorphosis for Mingus" "is a highlight for its structure, its improvisational level and its derivations."[6]
AllMusic awarded the album 3½ stars, noting that "there's a sense of spontaneity that borders on informality, but Adams is excellent throughout".[3]
