Reception

More information Review scores, Source ...

Writing for AllMusic, critic Ken Dryden wrote "With the surge of interest in bossa nova and samba, Peterson's interpretations of songs like "Manha de Carnaval," "How Insensitive," "Meditation," and "Samba de Orfeo" have stood up very well against similar jazz recordings of the mid-'60s. This is an enjoyable, if not essential, part of Oscar Peterson's considerable discography."[1]
