Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr. stating, "the quartet recordings on Last From Lennie's are bursting with creative energy... Like all good vault releases, Last From Lennie's reminds listeners of just how good Byard and his bandmates were".[2] A review on the All About Jazz website stated "The pace never slows over the album's 62 minute length. At the conclusion of "King David," I'm exhausted!"[3]
