The album was positively reviewed by Richard S. Ginell at AllMusic, who wrote that the album was "one of the most musical, and certainly one of the most enjoyable, concerts" in Concord's Maybeck Hall recital series, and wrote that Jones "always chooses his notes with care while rarely losing touch with the pulse of jazz, which is all too tempting in a solo format." ^[1] Pianist Liam Noble described the performance of "'Round Midnight": "Tiny variations in voicing, placement and colour just seem to jump out... at times the lead line sounds almost quieter than the accompaniment and yet draws your ear straight to it." ^[3]
