The album peaked at 47 on the Billboard Albums Chart and 11 on the magazine's jazz chart in 1968.[3]
The Allmusic review states "Any fan of the show should try and find this album at a used music shop, but more specifically fans of Lalo Schifrin (and that could be quite a few, as he remained uncredited on some of his TV themes) should definitely check the album out. It's a good buy if you can find it".[4]
