Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars stating "Hank Jones has made many memorable albums over his long career, but this 1956 session with Belgian flutist Bobby Jaspar is one that might easily get overlooked. Jaspar's melodious flute adds some magic ...Jones delivers his usual superb performance, while Paul Chambers has several fine solos, and drummer Kenny Clarke propels the date with his crisp brushwork".
