The AllMusic review stated "Pianist Ray Bryant covers a lot of ground in the 30-odd minutes of this release from 1963. For much of the time, the versatile pianist – accompanied by a classic, supportive rhythm section – plays like a less intense version of piano giants such as Art Tatum, Bud Powell, and Oscar Peterson".[4]
