AllMusic[4]

AllMusic reviewer Ken Dryden stated "Veteran trumpeter Harry "Sweets" Edison is awash in strings on this collection of ballads ... Edison's solos, whether muted or with open horn, are enjoyable, though rather reserved due to the nature of the arrangements. ... this disc will be of minimal interest to jazz fan".[4]
