James Williams at Maybeck was released by Concord Records. [4] The AllMusic reviewer concluded: "this CD is a pleasing, often reflective possible capstone to the long Maybeck project". [3] The Los Angeles Times reviewer indicated that solo playing accentuated Williams's style, and concluded that the album was "One of the 10 best in Concord's distinguished Maybeck series". [4] Pianist Liam Noble described the performance of " 'Round Midnight": "Williams really hangs on to the mood and, he gives us only one statement of the tune and then out, there’s a world of ideas and originality and, above all, authenticity in what he does in these four short minutes".
