Scott Yanow of AllMusic stated, "Not to be confused with the CD reissue of the same name recorded in 1979, this reunion encounter by pianists Ralph Sutton and Jay McShann is up to the same level of the original dates, with plenty of heated moments ... While Sutton is the definitive stride pianist of the past half-century, McShann (who also takes a couple of vocals) finds space to infuse the music with a strong dose of blues and Kansas City swing". A seven-minute "Jazzspeak" wraps up the enjoyable outing with some reminiscing about the session".[3]
