Ted Panken, writing for The Rolling Stone Jazz & Blues Album Guide, called Code Red "a rhythmic tour de force," and stated that it "elicits some of the most powerful performances on record up to that time" from the musicians. He concluded: "Code Red recodes [Tony] Williams the Milesian and '80s group leader to remarkable effect. This one is delightful over repeated listenings."[5]
