Reception

In a review for Allmusic, critic Richie Unterberger wrote: "It's a solid set of cool but not cold bop with a low-key mood and uniformly tasteful playing... There's only one original on here (by Buddy), but it's a beaut: the buoyant 'Beaux Arts' has gorgeous alternations of single-note solos and chording by Wes. In a different vein, 'Angel Eyes,' which begins with a long drumless passage, shows his skill with a delicate slow ballad."
