The
AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "Throughout much of her last 40 years, Etta Jones found her name being continually mixed up with that of
Etta James . So somehow it seems right then that she recorded James' trademark song 'At Last,' giving the piece her own spin and showing that Etta Jones is far from an imitation of Etta James. In a set that emphasizes swing standards, Jones turns everything into soulful blues, assisted by a top group."
