Critic Scott Yanow praised the album, noting Powell's "strong form" but taking points off the album's rating due to its poor audio quality.[1]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings wrote: "the music has a strangely evocative quality, more redolent of a time long gone and a man no longer living than many a professional recording."[3]
