Allmusic's Ken Dryden awarded the album 2½ stars and states "Clark Terry launched his "Mumbles" routine (where he delivered semi-coherent vocals interspersed with scat) with two numbers on a studio date for Verve led by Oscar Peterson; this Mainstream LP finds him expanding the concept to album length, with mixed success. Unfortunately, the effort becomes a little too commercial, not only de-emphasizing the jazz element to focus on the vocals, but adding lackluster songs". The retitled rerelease was awarded 4 stars by Richard S. Ginell who commented "As per the weird title, the music within this LP is among the happiest and most lighthearted (perhaps even occasionally light-headed) of Clark Terry's long, happy career".
