Allmusic[2]

Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Tom Jurek stating, "The Blue Yusef Lateef is one wild album. In sound, it is the very best the '60s had to offer in terms of experimentation and accessibility. This is blues you can dance to, but also meditate to and marvel at; a pearl worthy of the price".[2]
