The AllMusic review by Alex Henderson called it an "enjoyable (if less than essential) LP", stating: "Jazz-with-strings projects are often examples of mood music or easy listening; this LP, however, is more diverse than that." On All About Jazz, Derek Taylor said: "Hiring on an entire string orchestra Carter takes a stab at placing his virtuosity in front of a lushly orchestrated backdrop and ends up with bromidic mood music ... Carter's career ranks among the most prolific in jazz, and as such the overproduction and narcissism that spoil this a date make it one best left a forgotten entry."
