The Allmusic review stated "Ray Bryant is a master of soul-jazz but these 1964 studio recordings are a bit of a disappointment. ... Bryant leans a bit too heavily toward rhythm & blues, while his music might have been more interesting heard as piano solos. A piano of questionable tuning and muddy sound hardly helps matters. ... Most fans of Ray Bryant can safely bypass this release".
