Reception
The Allmusic review by Steve Huey awarded the album 4½ stars and stated "The mood isn't as unified as some of his carefully calibrated romantic dates, but Easy Living offers the two strongest sides of Quebec's musical personality in one place, encapsulating a great deal of what he did best". THe Easy Living LP did not contain all the sextet tracks from the Congo Lament session.
