The Allmusic review by arwulf arwulf noted: "Ten Trumpets and Two Guitars showcases a skilled team of brass players who juggle trumpets and flugelhorns backed by a solid rhythm section featuring guitarists Howard Roberts and Al Viola. Although some of Rugolo's arrangements contain squirrel-like passages, most of the textures encountered here are characteristically cool and firmly rooted in traditional jazz."[5]
