The Allmusic review by Stewart Mason awarded the album 3½ stars, stating, "From the lubricious title and cover photo on down, there's a certain 'swingin' at Hef's pad' vibe to the proceedings that makes this album of particular interest to latter-day hipsters. Most of the song selection consists of soul-jazz covers of popular hits of the day, but the real standouts are the small handful of band originals, particularly the fiery groove of the title track".
