Douglas Clark of DownBeat wrote, "Jones and Flanagan perform impeccably throughout".[4]

AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "Piano duets have the potential danger of getting overcrowded and a bit incoherent, but neither happens on this rather delightful set. ...tasteful, consistently swinging and inventive within the tradition".[3]
