The AllMusic review stated "Pianist Ray Bryant's debut for Columbia was named after 'Little Susie,' a hit single he had a short time earlier recorded for Signature. The trio LP with bassist Tommy Bryant and either Gus Johnson or Eddie Locke on drums has a remake of 'Little Susie,' a few other originals that did not catch on as hits".
