Scott Yanow reviewed the album for AllMusic and wrote that "The emphasis is on slower tempos and relaxed improvising but Shearing's distinctive solos and subtle creativity hold on to one's interest throughout. A tasteful set".[1]

gollark: Not sure how grades are meant to work exactly, but oh well.
gollark: Yep!
gollark: Well, this means I'll never have to do another English exam ever (probably), which is... one nice thing to come from this?
