The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "If proof is ever needed that there are too many Chet Baker albums around, this album can serve as evidence. Baker is caught on an off day ... It is a pity, for the recording quality is good, the European rhythm section is fine, and the repertoire is quite suitable. But there are far too many tentative and hesitant moments (along with a few clams) for this set to be on the level it should have been".[5] The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings, however, describes the album as "a fine, unpredictable set", and awards it three and a half stars.[6]
