Ken Dryden reviewed the album for [[Allmusic]] and wrote that "The musicians seem very stimulated by the odd surroundings, producing an enticing mix of standards, new Brubeck compositions, and the inevitable "Take Five"...Brubeck wrote the mournful "Elegy" for Norwegian journalist Randi Hultin, who died of cancer before she was able to hear it. The combination of Militello's haunting flute, Michael Moore's matchless arco bass, Randy Jones' soft use of mallets, and the leader's understated piano is powerful enough to hush any audience".<ref name="Allmusic"/>
Reviewing the album for the ''Jazz Times'', Doug Ramsey wrote that "We don't know whether Brubeck used his frequent tactic of stimulating his colleagues by launching into standards they don't expect, but freshness and spontaneity of surprise nonetheless saturate...Freshness is Brubeck's stock in trade as he progresses through his ninth decade".<ref name="JazzTimes">{{cite web|url=http://jazztimes.com/articles/13689-park-avenue-south-dave-brubeck-quartet|title=Jazz Reviews: Park Avenue South|publisher=Jazz Times|accessdate=4 December 2015}}</ref>
