Reception
Шаблон:Album ratings Billboard in 1954 wrote: "Weston turns in a brilliant display of modern jazz stylings on a selection of Cole Porter favorites. This is the first time that Weston, who has played with groups in New York since the war, has had a chance to really display his technique and his musicianship on disks and he makes the most of it."[2]
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".[3]
