Allmusic's Steve Leggett said: "Soul-jazz and Hammond B3 pioneer Jimmy McGriff made the Groove Merchant record label his home base for the better part of the 1970s, releasing the often overlooked Fly Dude in 1972. This is McGriff at his most varied. ... Fly Dude has an ever-shifting perspective, and more than enough groove to keep everything sharp, all with a firm blues bases".[4]
