Reception
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic The Rolling Stone Jazz Record GuideIn his review for Allmusic, jazz critic Scott Yanow wrote: "The material is strictly pop fluff of the era and the great guitarist has little opportunity to do much other than state the melody in his trademark octaves. This record was perfect for AM radio of the period."
