The AllMusic reviewer wrote: "although the individual solos are fine, not much really happens; overall it is a rather weird tribute to the blues".[1] The Billboard reviewer of all three volumes of Soul Gestures in Southern Blue commented on their "atmosphere of politeness, an absence of swing, and a somewhat shocking lack of true blues feeling".[4] It is not clear whether the two reviewers cited above are qualified specialists in the Jazz genre, as there is no background (professional or biographical) given.
