From Billboard - November 3, 1958 (review for stereo release): This melodic package was a solid sales item in it's monaural version and has much to offer stereo-wise, via Shearing's tasteful delicate pianistics and the easy swinging jazz-flavor of the entire album. Listenable, spin able mood music.
