AllMusic's Scott Yanow noted "Jay McShann does not sound at all like Fats Waller, but he is effective during this set of unaccompanied piano solos (no vocals) in bringing back to life nine of Waller's tunes, in his own way. A more blues-based improviser than Waller, with a sparser left hand (swing rather than stride), McShann is in spirited form".[3]

gollark: Why do you want votes to be weighted by land area?
gollark: Because there are more people in them, presumably.
gollark: It is not a "more equal say", it is directly giving more power to rural people.
