The AllMusic reviewer Ken Dryden stated: "Although this is a one time studio blowing session, things obviously gelled quickly for everyone as they got underway on this 1962 recording... [a] very enjoyable session". [3] The song "Take Me in Your Arms" had not been recorded by many jazz artists at the time of Red Garland's recording, though it had been recorded by several easy-listening artists including Percy Faith, Pete King, and Ferrante & Teicher. The song is an adaptation of "Liebe war es nie" by Alfréd Márkus (also known as "Fred Markush"), a Hungarian composer of operettas and film scores.
