AllMusic awarded the album 3 stars, stating: "An unusual aspect to the music is that on half of the eight standards Jones switches to electric piano; although he does not display as strong a musical personality on that instrument, he plays quite well." ^[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz praised the renditions of " Bags' Groove" and " Spring Is Here", but criticized the selection of other material, and preferred other Jones albums from the same period. ^[4]
