Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars, stating: "While this is not an album that would serve well as an introduction to this wonderful performer, it will prove particularly rewarding to those who are familiar with the pianist's work and wish to observe some different facets of his playing."Loewy, S., [http://www.allmusic.com/album/blues-for-red-mw0000615693 Allmusic Review] accessed June 26, 2014.
