The initial Billboard magazine review from 31 December 1960 commented that "This is surely a most intriguing jazz package. ...It's a swinging affair, with spontaneity and zest, and Brubeck is to be commended for being able to provide such a proper showcase for the vocalist" [5]

The album was reviewed by Scott Yanow at Allmusic who wrote that "On ten standards Brubeck, altoist Paul Desmond and the Quartet fit in perfectly behind the great swing/blues singer Jimmy Rushing who sounds rejuvenated by the fresh setting. This disc, a surprising success, is well worth searching for." [2]

John S. Wilson assigned the album 4 stars in DownBeat . [4] He wrote, "the use of the Brubeck quartet has put all of these pieces, which come out of the Rushing repertory rather than Brubeck’s, in a fresh light . . . The entire meeting is very relaxed and refreshing". [4]
