The album was reviewed by Michael G. Nastos at Allmusic who wrote that "Previn's technical ability and heartfelt stretching of the original blueprints urge these well-worn tunes to carry new meaning and substance. If there are any stock treatments here, it's because the pianist tends to lay back and let the melodies come to him...Perhaps Previn's voracity is not well known, or as regarded in the modern jazz world as it should be, but on this recording it's clear how great he can be". Nastos concluded that the album was "a step up for the veteran pianist, and is perhaps his shining recorded hour".[2]

Duncan Druce reviewed the album for Gramophone magazine and wrote that Previn and Finck "constantly take over each others' ideas in order to make something different out of them" and praised the "Brilliant, creative playing, then, and wonderful tunes - it's an impressive addition to Previn's enormous discography".[3]
