AllMusic later gave the album a rating of two stars.[1] Reviewer Steve Goulding called it "high-toned swing in a variety of jazzy settings" and noted that Starr "manages to be both polished and intimate."[1]

The album was released on compact disc in 2008. The original song sequence was altered, and some tracks were omitted and others added.[4]
