Allmusic and wrote that Woods' European Rhythm Machine was "an adventurous unit that really challenged the altoist" and "one of the most underrated groups of the 1968-70 period". Yanow concluded that "It is very good to hear Phil Woods playing post-bop and almost avant-garde music for a change, but it is a pity that all of the intriguing group's recordings are currently out of print".[2]
