Reception

{{Album ratings
| rev1 = Allmusic
| rev1Score = {{rating|5|5}}[3]
}}Allmusic gives the album 5 stars stating "One of Les McCann's greatest albums, Much Les encapsulates much of what McCann did best in his early years, while adding a few novel embellishments -- like a string section and Latin percussionists -- that enhance his core sound. The results are winning, likable, and consistently engaging, making for an underrated classic. ...the program is nicely varied, and the richer, more expanded arrangements serve to highlight -- not obscure -- the McCann trio's command of the groove. That's what makes Much Les such an enjoyable, essential listen".[3]
