Writing on AllMusic, Scott Yanow reviewed the album as "quite enjoyable" and including "melodic and concise versions of a variety of songs that Pizzarelli enjoys, including swing standards, two originals, a few medleys and a couple of classical numbers."[1]

Yanow also notes a "particular highlight is the Dick McDonough-Carl Kress piece "Chicken A La Swing," which Bucky plays in a guitar duet with his 14-year-old daughter Mary Pizzarelli."[1]
