Scott Yanow reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that "This promising effort is a major disappointment. ...Shearing planned to revisit his roots in Dixieland and swing but he hedged his bets. Despite having an impressive septet...Shearing wrote out most of the ensembles, taking away from the spontaneity and potential excitement of the music. Despite the interesting repertoire (ranging from "Truckin'," "Honeysuckle Rose" and "Jazz Me Blues" to "Take Five," "Desafinado" and even a Dixiefied "Lullaby Of Birdland"), this date falls far short of its potential".[2]
