In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow wrote: "a noteworthy group... The musicians very much understood the composers' purposes, and... they come up with definitive treatments. Highly recommended."[2]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3½ stars, and commented: "Regeneration is very satisfying... it's a tribute to the pianist and composer with whom Rudd worked in the early '60s... Lacy and Rudd used to work together in a unit which performed only Thelonious Monk material, so it's no surprise to hear three Monk tunes here alongside the same number of Nichols pieces."[3]
