AllMusic's review by Scott Yanow stated, "It is a pity that Reece and Curson do not get to tangle on all of the numbers, but they do shoot off some fireworks (most notably on 'Walkin''); the playing by all of the veterans is up to par".[4]
DownBeat assigned the album 4.5 stars.[6] Brent Staples wrote, "Blowin' Away has all the elements of an old time cuttin’ session: familiar tunes, a strong rhythm section and two roosters in the same barnyard. Curson and Reece seem intent upon blowing each other out of the studio".[6]
