The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide said "both Ming and Home display an excellent balance between written material and solos by a distinguished group of sidemen".[4]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz selected this album as part of its suggested Core Collection.[2]
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars stating "All of the brilliant players have their opportunities to make strong contributions to Murray's five originals (best known of which is "3-D Family"), and the leader's writing is consistently colorful and unpredictable. Recommended.".[3]
