The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states "One of the best settings for trumpeter Chet Baker was when he was accompanied by a guitar-bass duo. ... This is one of Baker's better albums from his later period".{{AllMusic|first=Scott|last=Yanow|class=album |id= mw0000269746 |title=Chet's Choice – Review |accessdate=May 29, 2017}}
