## Reception

Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic [2]

[Scott Yanow](/source/Scott_Yanow) of [Allmusic](/source/Allmusic) states, "this sleepy affair with a European string section is unremittingly dull... the arrangements for the 15 strings, five horns and rhythm section are quite boring. There are many rewarding Art Farmer dates currently available, so skip this misfire".[2]
