The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "It is not a classic outing... but it is colorful and unique enough to be easily recommended to straight-ahead jazz and blues fans."{{cite web|author=Scott Yanow |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/trumpet-kings-meet-joe-turner-mw0000311538 |title=The Trumpet Kings Meet Joe Turner – Harry "Sweets" Edison, Roy Eldridge, Dizzy Gillespie, Clark Terry, Big Joe Turner | Songs, Reviews, Credits |publisher=AllMusic |access-date=October 2, 2022}}

The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings wrote that the album is typical of the "Trumpet Kings" series, featuring "brilliant flashes of virtuosity interspersed with rhetoric and mere showing-off," but commented that, of the group, "the best is probably the Joe Turner meeting, where the great R&B singer puts everyone through their paces."

Nick Deriso of Something Else! described the album "an amalgamation of so many concurrent joys that it's a wonder this Pablo release ever got made," and remarked: "Together, they sounded new all over again; it was like finding an undiscovered country. Often, the jazzers pushed Turner to fresh rhythmic heights of traditional 12-bar iambic pentameter. But just as typically, his incisive vocal work also inspired gritty, more soulful thoughts from the household-named horn players."{{cite web |url=https://somethingelsereviews.com/2008/04/30/dizzy-gillespie-roy-eldridge-harry-edison-and-clark-terry-the-trumpet-kings-meet-joe-turner-1974/ |title=Dizzy Gillespie, Roy Eldridge, Harry Edison and Clark Terry – The Trumpet Kings Meet Joe Turner (1974) |first=Nick |last=Deriso |date=April 30, 2008 |website=Something Else! |access-date=October 1, 2022}}
