TheAllmusic review states "Consciously more percussive -- and more commercial -- Szabo's newly formed sextet was clearly up to the challenges of combining rock with jazz. More an instrumental-pop confection,Magical Connection doesn't quite live up to its promise. But even as Szabo covers pop hits by Carpenters,Buffalo Springfield andJohn Sebastian, he often plays with great wit and solos with energetic dexterity".[2]
