Allmusic called it an "excellent, forward-thinking date ... Mixing orchestral flourishes with a post-bop vocabulary and a decidedly experimental sensibility, Pavone's music is both highbrow and visceral at once".^[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz selected this album as part of its suggested Core Collection.^[3]^[5] On All About Jazz Troy Collins observed, "Pavone's swinging, multi-layered compositions push the tradition forward while always looking back" and said "Deez to Blues is a high water mark in a consistently exceptional discography".^[4] JazzTimes reviewer Brent Burton commented " Though never noisy or atonal, Blues is impossible to tune out, impossible to turn down. It demands nothing less than your undivided attention".^[6]
