AllMusic[4]

The AllMusic review by Alex Henderson called it an "enjoyable (if less than essential) LP" stating "Jazz-with-strings projects are often examples of mood music or easy listening; this LP, however, is more diverse than that".[4] On All About Jazz, Derek Taylor said "Hiring on an entire string orchestra Carter takes a stab at placing his virtuosity in front of a lushly orchestrated backdrop and ends up with bromidic mood music ... Carter's career ranks among the most prolific in jazz, and as such the overproduction and narcissism that spoil this a date make it one best left a forgotten entry".[5]
