Critical reception
{{Music ratings

}}
Scott Yanow of Allmusic states "One of the lesser-known Lee Konitz albums, this LP features the altoist joined by six brass and a rhythm section for eight Jimmy Giuffre arrangements. The shouting brass contrasts well with Konitz's cool-toned solos and together they perform eight underplayed standards".{{AllMusic|first=Scott |last=Yanow |class=album |id=mw0000871489 |title=You and Lee – Review |accessdate=July 6, 2015}}
