The American Record Guide wrote that "Almost anyone with a bit of swing in his bones and an eager ear for good music must admit that Nelson Riddle leads one of America's better recording orchestras. The Man from Hollywood is at his best on White on White, Shangri-La, Charade, and Other Hits of 1964." [5]
