In his review on Allmusic, Scott Yanow states "Eric Alexander has developed into one of the giants of the tenor sax. He is not an avant-garde trailblazer; nor are there scores of saxophonists who sound like his clones. But Alexander has developed his own sound within the areas of hard bop to post-bop; he gives the impression that he can sound confident and very credible in any setting, and he has yet to make an unworthy recording. He has led at least 20 CD recordings since his emergence, with Temple of Olympic Zeus being one of his best ... a brilliant improviser who deserves much more recognition for invigorating jazz's modern mainstream".[3] On All About Jazz, Jack Bowers said "This is a splendid example of Alexander's steady maturation as a tenor virtuoso in a more intimate setting. Alexander always comes to play, and always brings fresh and provocative ideas to the table".[4] In JazzTimes, Steve Greenlee wrote "For all the blue light of the burners, Alexander exudes warmth, too, particularly when he slows things down ... He’s got a big, muscular tone, yes, but he’s also got a soft touch".[5]
