Reception Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating
AllMusic
[5]
Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars, stating that the album "showcases altoist Benny Carter in two very different settings. Side one finds him interpreting ballads in front of a string section while the flip side matches Carter with the
Oscar Peterson Trio and drummer
J.C. Heard . It is a credit to his versatility and talents that Benny Carter plays quite well in both formats."

Track listing Tracks 1-6, 11-12 are included on the original The Urbane Mr. Carter 10" album.
