For AllMusic, critic Ken Dryden wrote, "The title track, an overlooked gem jointly written by Bobby Troup and Neal Hefti, finds the leader in a bluesy mood. The relaxed but jaunty treatment of 'Robbin's Nest' follows a powerful medley of 'I Concentrate on You' and 'Moon River' to wrap up this highly recommended session."[1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz included the album in its suggested "Core Collection".[2]
