The AllMusic reviewer recommended one track in particular: "'A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square' (which starts and ends with a very impressionistic fantasy, making one wonder if its swinging middle section was indeed a dream) is most memorable". The Penguin Guide to Jazz wrote that the standards were played with imagination, but that some of the other tracks were lacking expression.
