The AllMusic review by {{proper name|arwulf arwulf}} noted: {{Blockquote|text=Ten Trombones Like Two Pianos consists of 12 grooved up slip-horn routines delivered by eight tenor and two bass trombones with stylish rhythm accompaniment. ... delightfully suave, sophisticated and relaxing. ... will appeal directly to those who crave late-'50s mainstream jazz, Hollywood production and crisp, cool lounge music.|source={{AllMusic|first={{proper name|arwulf}} |last={{proper name|arwulf}} |class=album |id= mw0001586334 |title=Ten Trombones Like Two Pianos – Review |accessdate=October 6, 2016}}}}
