The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow and Thom Jurek awarded the albums 4½ stars stating "as a whole, this recording is so wonderfully executed, one has to wonder why Hipp simply dropped out of the jazz world".[2]

Writing in the liner notes for the album, jazz critic Leonard Feather said:

The total effect to be observed on these two sides is similar to what you would experience if you happened to drop in one night at Basin Street or the bohemia and found Jutta Hipp sitting in with Zoot's combo. The same laissez-souffler (or man, let's blow) spirit; the same concentration on individual expression. If fact, everything is there but the audience applause; it only remains to be hoped that you'll feel like providing it yourself.[4]
