AllMusic | [1] |
At AllMusic, critic Scott Yanow called the album "quite enjoyable" and "melodic and concise versions of a variety of songs that Pizzarelli enjoys, including swing standards, two originals, a few medleys and a couple of classical numbers."[1] Yanow also notes a "particular highlight is the Dick McDonough-Carl Kress piece 'Chicken a La Swing', which Bucky plays in a guitar duet with his 14-year-old daughter Mary Pizzarelli."[1]
