Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Scott Yanow stating, "this was his breakthrough date. One of jazz's greatest lyricists, at the time, Allison was making the transition from being a pianist who occasionally sang to becoming a vocalist who also played his own unusual brand of piano. ...the set is one of Mose Allison's most significant recordings".[3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz commented that, with its combination of material, "for some this is the classic Mose album".[4]
