Reception

The Negro Digest positively reviewed the album in their September 1963 issue describing it as "a superb album altogether" and that the liner notes of the album were "understated" in their description of Eckstine as "luxurious" and having a "strong sensual undercurrent". The Negro Digest also wondered if Eckstine ever "sang this well at the height of his popularity" from 1948 to 1953.
