The album was reviewed by Ken Dryden at Allmusic who wrote that Previn "faces the same challenge every jazz musician must address: finding new paths through Gershwin's frequently recorded masterpieces". Dryden highlighted Previn's "train-like bassline substitution to open and close a rollicking take" of "They All Laughed" and his "laid-back" and "bluesy treatment" of "Oh, Lady Be Good".[2]
