Reception
| rev1 =Allmusic | rev1Score = | rev2 = The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide | rev2Score = In his Allmusic review, critic Scott Yanow wrote that the album was long considered a classic and that "Although Pass was actually more strongly influenced by Charlie Christian than by Reinhardt and he had already formed his own style, he has no difficulty fitting into the music."
