Bruce Eder, writing on [[AllMusic]] said the album compared unfavorably to Basie and Williams' previous records ''[[April in Paris (album)|April In Paris]]'', and ''[[The Greatest!! Count Basie Plays, Joe Williams Sings Standards]]'', but praised "From Coast to Coast" and "One O'Clock Jump", and Williams' performance on "Stop, Pretty Baby, Stop".<ref name="Allmusic"/>
