AllMusic.com hails Stanley Turrentine"s Salt Song with arrangements by the Grammy®-winning Eumir Deodato as "another fine, eclectic outing that falls squarely into the signature CTI fusion sound: smooth but not slick, accessible but not simplistic ... All in all, Salt Song has dated well, partly because the arrangements don"t overemphasize electric piano, but mostly on the strength of Turrentine"s always-soulful playing."
