The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "The fact that the music is not in general as funky as usual may be why producer Alfred Lion did not release with the sessions when they were recorded. However, although not essential, the playing is enjoyable on its own terms". [3] On All About Jazz, C. Michael Bailey said "Standards is full of Gene Harris' good-natured, hand-over-hand rolling blues playing. ... Harris is the star supported ably by Simpkins and Dowdy. While being the premier jazz-blues pianist, Harris' music is never dark or sinister. Gene Harris' music is always about sunshine and brightness". [5]
