The Penguin Guide to Jazz noted "Blues for a Reason stands out from much of the work of the period in including relatively unfamiliar charts, including three by Chet himself. ... This is an important and quietly salutary album that confounds the more casual dismissals of the trumpeter's latter-day work".[3] The Allmusic review states "This combination works quite well. For what might have been the only time in their careers, trumpeter Chet Baker and tenor-saxophonist Warne Marsh were teamed together in a quintet ... Recommended".[4]
