In his review for AllMusic, Alex Henderson notes "Like its predecessor, East of the Sun makes listeners wish a label had offered Halliday a deal 20 or 30 years earlier."[2]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz states "The second album is a plain-and-simple second helping, but one can't expect fresh initiatives from a seasoned campaigner at this stage: just good, genuine jazz."[3]
