AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars and the review by Scott Yanow stated, "All of the swing all-stars are in fine form, making one wish that they were not being so neglected by critics and fans alike during this era; Webster soon left the U.S. permanently for Europe. Although not essential, this set is fun".[5] On NPR Murray Horwitz said that "throughout this deceptively simple album... you hear all that musicality in Benny Carter, plus a big dollop of playfulness. It's a wonderfully enjoyable CD."[7]
