Reception
The Allmusic review by William Ruhlmann awarded the album four ½ stars and compared the album to Feinstein's earlier all-Gershwin album Pure Gershwin (1987). Feinstein had previously been a secretary to Ira Gershwin, and Ruhlmann remarks that "the man has the heart of a research assistant, but few history lessons are this much fun". Feinstein's research is evident on this album, with debut recordings of the songs "Anything for You" and "Will You Remember Me?".
