| AllMusic |   [5] |
AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated "tenor saxophonist Zoot Sims and pianist Jimmy Rowles' tribute to Billie Holiday is melodic, tasteful, and largely memorable ... they perform 11 songs associated with Holiday, including quite a few that would have been lost in obscurity if Lady Day had not uplifted them with her recordings ... A lyrical and heartfelt tribute".[5]
