The album was reviewed by Richard S. Ginell at Allmusic who described it as an "amiable collection of mostly vintage standards" that Previn, Brown and Lowe "probably know in their sleep. Previn is as fluid, witty and melodically inventive as ever in his bop-derived, light-fingered manner, with occasional side trips into stride and Brubeck-like chordal perorations...The lack of a drummer becomes an asset in this golden mellow hall; a drum kit would have upset the acoustical balance".[2]
