AllMusic reviewer Ken Dryden stated: "This session was actually his first as a leader, though opportunities to record on a regular basis on his own were infrequent until the '70s. The pianist, who is joined by bassist George Duvivier and drummer Roy Burness, with guitarist Kenny Burrell added on four tracks, does his best with lively interpretations of each song, but the compositions never really caught on to become standards and they just aren't all that remarkable decades after their premiere, even if none of them are really bad or bland."
