Allmusic's Scott Yanow noted, "Some songs only use one or two of the horns, but each player gets his spot. Edison was very consistent during the era, and Forrest has a few muscular tenor solos. Fans of small group swing and drummers who want to hear Jones in a couple of well-recorded sets will enjoy this".{{AllMusic|first=Scott|last=Yanow|class=album |id=mw0000204847 |title=Jo Jones: The Everest Sessions – Listing |accessdate=June 4, 2019}} On All About Jazz, David Rickert wrote "Vamp 'Til Ready, is an informal jam session featuring an outstanding line-up".Rickert, D.
