AllMusic awarded the album 4½ stars and in its review by Steve Huey, stated "this is a fine program easily recommended to straight-ahead collectors".[1] For the New Statesman, Richard Cook wrote that "Songs enters the piano tradition without a murmur of protest while still offering music that is bursting loose of the accepted trinity of piano, bass and drums."[3]
