"The Penguin Guide to Jazz" included "Lenox Avenue Breakdown" in its "Core Collection," and assigned the album its "crown" accolade along with a four-star rating (of a possible four stars).cite book|last=Cook|first=Richard|authorlink=Richard Cook|coauthors=Brian Morton|title=The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings|origyear=1992|edition=8th ed.|series=The Penguin Guide to Jazz|year=2006|publisher=Penguin|location=New York|language=English|isbn=0-141-02327-9|page=p. 139] "Penguin" editors Richard Cook and Brian Morton called the album "one of the lost masterpieces of modern jazz," owing to its long period of unavailability before the 1998 CD release. Cook and Morton noted that " [Bob Stewart (musician)| [Bob] Stewart's] long tuba solo on the title-piece is one of the few genuinely important tuba statements in jazz, a nimble sermon that promises storms and sunshine."
