The contemporaneous DownBeat reviewer wrote that the album was inferior to The Soulful Piano of Junior Mance, because it lacked emotion and individuality.[4] The AllMusic site awarded the album 4½ stars stating: "Mance's many fans have no reason to despair though for, in addition to a boppish rendition of "Girl of My Dreams", the pianist does perform a generous amount of blues and soulful pieces".[3]
