Allmusic critic Bruce Eder, in reviewing the reissue, praised the album, writing "This was a pretty strong album to begin with... It's all surprisingly memorable, coming out of a period in which the Trio's records simply weren't selling... The result is a CD every bit as good, and perhaps better than many of the group's classic Capitol sides.[1]
