Reception
editThe Allmusic review by Alex Henderson awarded the album 4½ stars, stating, "In a sense, On Broadway is an ironic title for this series because Motian certainly doesn't perform standards the way they would be performed in a Broadway theatrical production; he performs them like someone who is hell-bent for hardcore jazz. On Broadway, Vol. 5 is a welcome addition to the series".[2]
