The album has received generally favourable reviews from critics. The Daily Telegraph included the album on its list of The 33 best jazz albums of 2014[10] where music critic Helen Brown rated the album four-out-of-five stars and claims: "This record finally captures the warmth, passion and spontaneity of Cullum's live gigs." In his review for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine gives the album four-out-of-five stars and notes "Cullum seems reinvigorated. He's enjoying tearing into these old tunes and that excitement isn't merely palpable, it's contagious."
