Allmusic[3]

Allmusic reviewed the album awarding it 3½ stars stating "There is more than the seed of genius at work on Feelin' Blue. These ten cuts were recorded over two days in September and October with two different ensembles... fine as it is, Feeling Blue was only a hint of the great things to come".[3] All About Jazz correspondent David Rickert observed "Feeling Blue is a great jazz guitar record that, while flawed, displays a musician of considerable talent".[4]
