Reception Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic [3] The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings [4] The Allmusic site awarded the album 3 stars stating: "This is a rather relaxed recording featuring baritonist Gerry Mulligan and some of his top alumni... The emphasis is on ballads and nothing too innovative occurs, but the results are pleasing and laid-back".[3]
