Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states "This fine release gives one an excellent example of Previn's skills as a jazz pianist".{{AllMusic|first=Scott |last=Yanow |class=album |id=mw0000276385 |title=King Size! – Review |accessdate=May 18, 2015}} On All About Jazz Dave Rickerts states "King Size is one of the few Previn albums not based around a musical or composer and thus lacks a little bit in focus. ...it takes confident and hardy souls to stretch tracks out to the nine minute mark in a trio setting as they do... Pleasant enough, but not as arresting as Previn's other work".Rickert, D., [http://www.allaboutjazz.com/andre-previn-four-classic-albums-by-david-rickert.php All About Jazz Review], November 23, 2011
