The Globe and Mail wrote that "Schifrin's compositions are tuneful and his arrangements, using strings and voices in places, are lilting and light."[4]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "It is not the electronics of Andy LaVerne that is bothersome on this LP but the poppish material (which includes the theme from Evita) and the excessive amount of keyboardists and guitarists. Stan Getz cannot be blamed for trying something new (he even uses an Echoplex sparingly) and his cool-toned tenor is in fine form but the overall results are rather forgettable".[3]
All compositions by Lalo Schifrin except where noted.
