Ken Dryden on Allmusic.com gave the album four stars out of five, commenting: "Hodges is never less than superb throughout this reissue...Strayhorn's exotic chart of 'Azure' and emotional scoring of 'Your Love Has Faded' are especially striking. Recommended." Dryden also singled out the performances of trombonist Lawrence Brown, saxophonist Harry Carney, trumpeter Howard McGhee, and pianist Jimmy Jones for praise.[1]
