The Allmusic review by Richie Unterberger awarded the album four and a half stars. "How much you like this sort of thing depends almost as much on how much you like the celebrity sleaze-kitsch that the Rat Pack mythology was built upon as you do the trio's estimable vocal abilities," Unterberger states, "But both parts deliver all the all-around entertainment you'd expect."
