Reception
{{Album ratings
| rev1 = AllMusic
}}
AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "During the late '80s up to the present, Benny Carter (now an octogenarian) has recorded a string of consistently excellent and frequently superb CDs for Music Masters. This particular effort is a rare live recording for Carter with his regular group ... The repertoire is typical of his club performances ... A special treat is Carter's trumpet solo on "Time for the Blues"; otherwise his wonderful alto dominates this fine set".{{Allmusic|first= Scott |last=Yanow |class=album |id=mw0000654835 |title=Benny Carter: Cookin' at Carlos I – Review |accessdate= June 7, 2019}}
