Writing for AllMusic, critic Ken Dryden wrote "The title track, an overlooked gem jointly written by Bobby Troup and Neal Hefti, finds the leader in a bluesy mood. The relaxed but jaunty treatment of "Robbin's Nest" follows a powerful medley of "I Concentrate on You" and "Moon River" to wrap up this highly recommended session." [1]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz included the album in its suggested "Core Collection". [3]
