The editors of AllMusic awarded the album a full five stars, and Scott Yanow wrote: "Although not as essential from the jazz standpoint as Billy Eckstine's earlier big-band dates, this two-fer features the singer at the peak of his powers."

Max Morath, author of The NPR Curious Listener's Guide to Popular Standards, listed the album as among "Billy's Best," calling it "fine."
