The JazzTimes reviewer commented that the tracks were too long and taken at a very slow tempo.Sohmer, Jack (January/February 2000) [http://jazztimes.com/articles/10871-another-shade-of-blue-lee-konitz "Lee Konitz – Another Shade of Blue"]. JazzTimes. The Penguin Guide to Jazz praised the renditions of "Body and Soul" and "What's New?", but preferred the earlier Alone Together recording.
