The Allmusic review by Ken Dryden awarded the album two stars and said that "...the jazz content is minimal and the music is plagued by the rather dated charts and a rather nauseating choir on over half of the tracks. Likewise, the strings (when present) are overbearing and haven't stood the test of time as well as Armstrong's warm vocals and still potent trumpet, though he isn't featured as a trumpeter all that much." Dryden praised Armstrong's duet with Velma Middleton on "You're Just In Love", and "I Want a Butter and Eggman".^[1]
