| DownBeat | [5] |
AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars stating "Although based in the hard bop tradition, altoist Eric Kloss was always open to the influence of the avant-garde... Eric Kloss pushes himself and his sidemen throughout the date, and even if the Fender Rhodes sounds a bit dated, the high musicianship and chance-taking are still exciting to hear."[3]
Downbeat awarded the release 4 stars.[5] Herb Nolan called the album "an exemplary showcase of his [Kloss] virtuosity as a player and composer. It also reveals his tremendous feeling for melody, especially evident in his tune "Licea" . . . One. Two. Free is a well-balanced album, one that can be listened to over and over again".[5]
