In the review on Allmusic, Scott Yanow noted " the trio's close interplay and ability to think as one" and said "The results are easily recommended".[6] On All About Jazz Tom Greenland wrote "The Perfect Set: Live at Bradley's II captures three masterful musicians and one enthusiastic audience in mutual jazz worship"[7] while Ollie Bivens said "These marvelous sixty minutes of music are like listening to an intimate conversation among long-time friends who are totally respectful of one another's views. This performance was indeed a "perfect set" and a showcase for true "smooth jazz.""[10]
