Ken Dryden reviewed the album for Allmusic and wrote that "Woods' playing is inspired, though some of the songs, including the title track, "Love Song for a Dead Che" and "I'm All Smiles" sound rather dated, as if they might have been appropriate for a movie soundtrack of the era. ...Woods' fans will want to pick this up".[2]
