Reception

The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 3 stars stating "Hey There! finds the Three Sounds keeping themselves slightly in check, turning in snappy, concise versions of jazz and pop standards, as well as jumping originals from Gene Harris... Their technical prowess is better heard on records where they stretch out a bit more, but Hey There! is another artist record from the most consistently entertaining artist on Blue Note's roster".
