Harvey Pekar's January 17, 1963 review for
Down Beat magazine stated "There have been some gimmicky bossa nova albums issued recently, but this one features music of high and enduring quality." The
Allmusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 4 stars stating "The simplified style of this album overall perfectly suited the amiable, good-natured, and laid-back Hawkins." ==Track listing==
