AllMusic[2]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings[3]

AllMusic awarded the album 3½ stars stating "hot full of breezy humor -- while also falling prey to the needless clutter so popular in fusion bands and jazz schools -- Summer Fruits will no doubt please fans who like their swing embedded in left field, yet logical dress".[2]
