The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Benny Green continued to show gradual growth throughout the 1990s. For this outing with his 1994 trio, Green shows off the influence of Oscar Peterson and other predecessors, but also displays his own musical voice during a mixture of originals, jazz standards and lesser-known tunes. ... Overall, this CD is an excellent example of Benny Green's playing and writing talents".^[3] On All About Jazz, William Grimm noted "Benny Green is a consummate jazz pianist. He’s mastered all the past styles from Kansas City stride to Bill Evans to bebop and beyond and he’s taking the music to heights unknown. The Place To Be is just that, the place where everyone who appreciates great jazz will want to be".^[4]
