The album was reviewed by Ken Dryden at Allmusic who wrote that Previn "...chose songs simply by grabbing sheet music and trying out a few quick impressions before quickly deciding to record it or move on to the next number. While most of the selections will be very familiar, he also included less frequently heard works. ...This low-key but lovely CD is perfect for late-night listening with someone special".
