Reception

The AllMusic review by Matt Collar noted that it was a "slightly more commercial effort than many previous Duke Ellington recordings," adding "While Ellington '65 isn't a bad recording, it is by no means required listening and will most likely appeal to die-hard Ellington completists." [2]
