Dmitry Bebenin in a review for the website Zvuki.ru stated that such a grand prima as Larisa Dolina, with her gorgeous voice, could not stay away from the revival of normal music, and the restless manic "jazzophrenic" Igor Butman, who in recent years has developed a stormy and fruitful activity in the field of popularization of real noble jazz, turned out to be very welcome here. He positively assessed the issue of standards: "The funky–all innovatively, and without any hints of "popness"—version of the classic "Night and Day" is able to "get out of the game" even Red Hot Chili Peppers. At the same time, the classic "Georgia on My Mind" strictly follows the spirit and letter of the original. It was not without pop and rock inclusions. Stevie Wonder's "Sir Duke" sounds almost more interesting here than the original. In Gershwin's "Summertime" and Ellington's "Don't Get Around Much Anymore", the hero and heroine of the evening are ready to improvise indefinitely. And Dolina and Butman's reading of the Beatles' same blues "Oh, Darling" is performed in the tradition of George Benson, who, as you know, changed everything back in 1976 with a jazz-rock reading of the whole matter of Abbey Road ." Summarizing, Bebenin noted that, judging by the chic with which Dolina published this superfood, interest in truly stylish music in our crazy world has not only not died yet, but is ready to flare up with renewed vigor.
