Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states "This fine release gives one an excellent example of Previn's skills as a jazz pianist".[2] On All About Jazz Dave Rickerts states "King Size is one of the few Previn albums not based around a musical or composer and thus lacks a little bit in focus. ...it takes confident and hardy souls to stretch tracks out to the nine minute mark in a trio setting as they do... Pleasant enough, but not as arresting as Previn's other work".[3]
