The Penguin Guide to Jazz highlighted Hanna's use of chromaticism. [2] The AllMusic reviewer wrote that Hanna "mixes his stride, Tatum, bop and classical strains freely, but with the structure of his instant compositions always in mind, the signs of a musician who knows how to put together a satisfying solo piano gig". [3] A reviewer for Billboard praised Hanna's "offbeat, intricate arrangements" and "idiosyncratic melodic vision". [6] Ron Welburn of JazzTimes expressed admiration for the voicings on "Love Walked In" and stated that the "bluesy intro would allow you to drift leisurely at will". [7]
