AllMusic's Scott Yanow noted: "Terry knows these songs, which include 'Cottontail', 'Come Sunday' and 'Sophisticated Lady', backwards, but he infuses each of his renditions with enthusiasm and melodic creativity. Recommended".[4] The Penguin Guide to Jazz selected the album as part of its suggested Core Collection.[5][6]
