Reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = AllMusic | rev1Score = {{rating|4.5|5}}[1] | rev2 = The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide | rev2Score = {{rating|4|5}}[3] }} The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album four and a half stars and said that "The music is essentially straight-ahead bop, yet the seven standards ... are uplifted by the presence of Merrill (in top form) and Brown."[1] In a review of a 2007 reissue of Merrill's first two albums by Lone Hill Jazz, David Rickert singled out the performance of "'S Wonderful" as "one of the best versions of the Gershwin tune I've heard in years" and called the two sessions "a vocal jazz feast well worth deserving of more renown."[4] Track listing
