Allmusic[2]

The initial Billboard review of the album from 29 June 1968 felt that "Brubeck fans will cherish this one...The improvisations of "Swanee River" are provocative and imaginative".[3]

The album was reviewed by Scott Yanow at Allmusic who wrote that "this LP is full of timeless performances". Yaow also felt that "Throughout these extended renditions, Brubeck and altoist Paul Desmond rekindle some of the magic from their concerts of the early '50s while also simultaneously showing just how far they had grown as musicians".[2]
