The Allmusic review by Rick Anderson states "certainly worth hearing, if not quite essential. Baker's accompanists provide most of the truly transcendent musical moments ... Overall, this is an album his established fans will enjoy, but those looking for a good entry into his voluminous catalog will do best to start with the 1950s recordings that made him a star". [2]
