S. M. Haney of AllMusic wrote, "This is a listening pleasure to the first degree. Unlike any other, Charlie Byrd sincerely knows how to make his instrument speak, sending graceful chords and melodies to this attentive audience... Cheers to the Charlie Byrd Trio for a dynamic effort during this May 1963 gig. Applause, applause." [2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz commented that the addition of a trumpeter and saxophonist to Byrd's normal trio format of the time contributed little. [3]
