Jason Ankeny of Allmusic states: "Comin' on Strong ranks among James Moody's most challenging and rewarding sessions — with its complex rhythms and mercurial tempos, the material is more like a series of obstacle courses than a collection of melodies, but Moody and his collaborators navigate the twists and turns with dexterity and grace".[4]
