Reception
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic
Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars with its review by Scott Yanow stating, "Although the blues feeling (as pointed out in the liner notes) is emphasized throughout the date, many of the songs, including "The Brown Skin Gal in the Calico Gown" and "Stormy Weather," are not really blues, but only bluesy. Overall this is a fine outing".
