Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars with the review by Alex Henderson stating, “back in 1954 — when a 28-year-old Randy Weston recorded Randy Weston Plays Cole Porter in a Modern Mood — saluting Porter wasn’t an idea that beboppers had run into the ground and beaten to death. It was still an intriguing idea, and the element of intrigue is definitely present on this record… the pianist’s career as a leader was off to an impressive start”.
