Allmusic awarded the album 4½ stars stating: "Gerry Mulligan's third LP to feature his Concert Jazz Band is one of his best efforts, because the concert repertoire recorded during this pair of 1961 studio sessions was written specifically for his group".{{AllMusic|first=Ken |last=Dryden |class=album |id=mw0000872396 |title=Presents a Concert in Jazz – Review |accessdate=February 29, 2016}}
