Scott Yanow of AllMusic stated: "Karrin Allyson has a small and sometimes hoarse voice but she does so much with it that her bop session is easily recommended. Her all-star sextet ... has plenty of short solos on colorful charts by Alan Broadbent. Allyson sounds perfectly at ease, whether scatting on 'No Moon at All,' finding fresh melodic variations on 'I Cover the Waterfront,' or singing her original blues 'Sweet Home Cookin' Man.' She always swings." Doug Ramsey in his review for JazzTimes commented: "Although there is no evidence of strain or intonation problems in her voice, it loses body on some low notes, probably a consequence of aiming below her true range."[3]
