John Vinocur of The New York Times praised the album, saying:[1]
The performances are remarkable because they take in, at the highest level, everything that people said Chet could do – play ballads with almost painful, poetic eloquence – and what many said he could not: blow hard and tough enough so as to make the trumpet sound its essence.
Rick Anderson of AllMusic said the album "shows he was still in complete control of his musical faculties, playing not just beautifully and well, but with energy and even speed despite his deteriorating health."[2]
