The Penguin Guide to Jazz[3]

The Boston Globe wrote that Jones "plays with a steady swinging pulse with lots of variations, fluent single note runs, a sharp accent here, a quick change of pace there, a fanciful twist to the melody line or, on Richard Rodgers' 'You Took Advantage of Me', opening with a glittering quick-fingered Art Tatum solo."[4]

AllMusic stated that "this outing features pianist Hank Jones emphasizing the swing side of his flexible musical personality... A fine set."[2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz described this and Bluesette from the same label as having "a soft and occasionally plangent quality which is highly appealing."[3]
