Alex Henderson of Allmusic says, "On this session, Bailey's playing isn't as forceful, aggressive, and brassy as it was in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, although he is still enjoyable and expressive. The Satchmo Legacy isn't among Bailey's essential albums and isn't recommended to casual listeners, but it's a respectable effort that his diehard fans will appreciate".[2]

Scott Yanow of L.A. Jazz Scene says, "Not a dixieland player but a melodic bopper, Bailey nevertheless fares quite well on this set of nine songs associated with Louis Armstrong. Bailey does a surprisingly effective job of singing Pennies From Heaven (on which he sounds a bit like Satch) and A Kiss To Build A Dream On. His trumpet chops are in particularly good form overall and he takes lots of chances but he always keeps the melodies in mind and helps to bring back the spirit of Louis Armstrong".[3]
