The album was reviewed by Ken Dryden at Allmusic, who noted that the sound is in mono and was not as well-recorded as previous live releases, while commenting that the performances are of a high calibre and that Brubeck fans would welcome the album as a historic addition to the musician's discography.[2]
Peter Vacher writing for Jazzwise describes the album's atmosphere as being "almost playful at times", characterising Brubeck's piano playing as "splashy", with a "crisp, boppish attack", commending the rhythm section of Wright and Morello for their "wonderfully lithe swing", and noting the "frail beauty" of Desmond's saxophone.[4]
