Scott Yanow of AllMusic states: "This interesting and well-rounded LP has two separate sessions originally cut for the Felsted label. Cornetist Rex Stewart is fiery on the first date, jamming on a trio of his worthy but obscure originals ... The three numbers from the later date have moody arrangements ... Superior music that will hopefully resurface".{{allMusic|first=Scott|last=Yanow|class=album|id=mw0000903104|title=Rendezvous with Rex – Review|accessdate= June 30, 2017}} Digby Fairweather in the Rough Guide to Jazz wrote: "this is a fine session with Stewart's sometimes buzzy open-horn still in full control".{{cite book
