Billboard reviewed At Newport '63 upon its release in their 16 November 1963 issue, calling the album "A wild performance indeed."[ 3]
Scott Yanow , writing on AllMusic said of the album: "Highlights include 'One O'Clock Jump ,' 'Watermelon Man ,' 'Cloudburst' and a funny rendition of Hendricks' 'Gimme That Wine.' All of the records by this group (and its predecessor Lambert, Hendricks and Ross ) are well worth acquiring even if Yolande Bavan was not a soloist on the level of an Annie Ross."[ 1]
This performance of 'Yeh-Yeh' inspired the 1964 hit single by British vocalist Georgie Fame .
C. Andrew Hovan, writing for All About Jazz said that the album "...proves to be a rhapsodic moment captured on tape that at the time provided evidence that the loss of Annie Ross was anything but the demise of the group. Sure, Bavan didn't have the range that Ross did, but she was more than able to keep up with her two gentleman friends and add a different tonal color to the group to boot! ...Terry and Hawkins sound inspired and Mahones and the trio provide the kind of spunky support that spurs on such performances".[ 2] Hovan also described pianist Gildo Mahones as "tragically underrated" and trumpeter Clark Terry as sounding "tart and tasty" on "Sack O' Woe".[ 2]
