Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with Scott Yanow stating "Trombonist Jack Teagarden's Verve recordings, his last batch of studio sides, have tended to be underrated. Teagarden was actually still in prime form up until the time of his unexpected death in early 1964 ... Whether taking trombone solos or singing, Teagarden sounds inspired by the fresh material throughout". [3]
