Cashbox cited the album as a Jazz Pick: "Here's a delightful musical marriage spotlighting the distinctive musical talents of Bola Sete and Vince Guaraldi ... The two jazzmen compliment each other as they turn in superlative renditions of 'Days of Wine and Roses,' 'Star Song' and 'Moon Rays.' Loads of sales potential here."{{Cite news |date=January 25, 1964 |title=Album Reviews: Vince Guaraldi, Bola Sete and Friends |pages=26 |work=Cashbox}}
