AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars and its review by Ken Dryden states: "These two musicians usually make any date that they're a part of a success and this rare duo date together is no exception. Jones' effortlessly swinging style is matched beautifully by the bassist's imaginative lines". ^[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz summarized the album as "gorgeous", and wrote that "Jones works around and under the bassist's lines like the great accompanist he is". ^[4]
