The DownBeat review by John Ephland awarded the album 3 ½ stars and simply states: "Aliens in a Bebop Planet has the feel of a musical theater revue, but that doesn’t come through until the very end. Before that, we are treated to a variety of mainstream jazz styles. As for the title of the package, a better one might be Beboppers on an Alien Planet. But kicking it all off is a signature sound on piano that suggests yet another 'planet'”.[5]
