  Ken Dryden in his review for AllMusic states: "none of the musicians had ever played together, though it made little difference as they quickly absorbed the originals of Lewis and Mangelsdorff, along with the familiar standard 'Autumn Leaves' (a trio arrangement omitting Lewis) and Gary McFarland's 'Why Are You Blue'.".
