In his review for AllMusic, Ken Dryden wrote, "Mixing standards, swing, bop, and hard bop compositions, Montoliu consistently comes up with imaginative treatments. ... Although Montoliu would record several additional CDs after this session, this is easily one of his most essential releases".{{allMusic|first=Ken|last=Dryden|class=album|id=mw0000618119 |title=Tete Montoliu: The Music I Like to Play, Vol. 4 – Review |accessdate=June 20, 2017}}
