The Allmusic review said "The playing is excellent and the interplay creative in a subtle way, but nothing out of the ordinary or particularly memorable occurs. However Kenny Burrell fans will enjoy this".{{Allmusic|first=Scott|last=Yanow|class=album |id=mw0000173547 |title=Ellington a La carte – Review |accessdate=April 13, 2017}}
