Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic [ 2]
Allmusic awarded the album 3½ stars stating "Mr. Bojangles pairs Sonny Stitt with arranger Don Sebesky for one of the smoothest and most mainstream-facing dates of the saxophonist's career. Sebesky's luminous treatments underscore the elegance of Stitt's soulful alto and tenor leads".[ 2]
