The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow states: "Such tunes as 'I Wanna Be Loved by You,' 'Runnin' Wild,' 'Down Among the Sheltering Palms,' and 'By the Beautiful Sea' are given fairly modern arrangements but still retain the flavor of the 1920s, and it's particularly interesting to hear Gordon and Pepper soloing on these ancient songs".[2]
