The AllMusic review stated " it is a joy to hear this rare encounter by the two great saxophonists. It is only a pity that Pepper and Sims did not record together more extensively during their careers".{{Allmusic|first=Scott |last=Yanow |class=album |id= mw0000177736 |title=Art 'n' Zoot – Review |accessdate=October 31, 2016}}
