}}Allmusic's Jason Ankeny said: "Black Velvet boasts a smooth, rich texture absent from O'Donel Levy's subsequent Groove Merchant sessions – its mellow, stoned-soul sensibilities nevertheless complement the guitarist perfectly, affording him the space to weave a series of righteously beautiful solos ...the arrangements are lovely ... Levy also proves himself a composer of some distinction, contributing a pair of charming originals".^[4]
