The Allmusic review stated "This 1982 meeting between the veteran alto saxophonist Lee Konitz and the young pianist (19 at the time of the session) Michel Petrucciani is a success on all counts. Konitz's fragile alto is complemented by Petrucciani's lush backing".{{AllMusic|first=Ken |last=Dryden |class=album |id=mw0000188418 |title=Toot Sweet – Review |accessdate=December 5, 2016}}
