Allmusic[2]

The album was reviewed by Scott Yanow at Allmusic who wrote that despite being recorded in session three years apart, the music "...has a strong unity about it due to the consistent performances of the veteran group". Yanow also wrote that "The Rodgers songs are treated with respect and swing. This comparatively gentle version of "My Favorite Things" would never be mistaken for John Coltrane's."[2]
