Scott Yanow of AllMusic noted "Dee Dee Bridgewater's move to France awhile back has resulted in her having a relatively low profile in jazz. This excellent live set should help restore her reputation... Bridgewater (who is backed by a French rhythm section) is in top form, singing with swing and sensitivity."[3]
