Billboard magazine reviewed the album in their September 3, 1966 issue and wrote that the "young Brazilian organist plays superbly" and that ""Summer Samba" has the power to pull this delightful package right up the LP chart".[3]
Judith Schlesinger reviewed the reissue of the album for Allmusic and wrote that the album "does evoke strong water images, like "poolside" and "ice skating rink."" and that the listener is "catapulted straight back to the '60s when bossa nova was new in the U.S. and everyone wanted a piece of it". Schlesinger commented that the shortness of the songs left the "jazzmen...underutilized", but praised Urbie Green's work on "Rain" and "Beach Samba".[2]

gollark: Right now page names are basically just treated as opaque strings. But this is somewhat bad as links and stuff should probably not be case-sensitive. I can make SQLite just match case-insensitively, but I feel like this could lead to badness elsewhere.
gollark: Hmm. It may be necessary to do something in minoteaur™ to prevent [REDACTED]-29 "case mismatch" issues.
gollark: t!speed
