The All About Jazz review by C. Michael Bailey awarded the album 5 stars and simply states: "An Evening with Herb Geller & the Roberto Magris Trio: Live in Europe 2009 is the result of some saved tapes and audio magic, displaying Geller in full possession of his facilities at 81-years old in 2009. Geller is captured closely, often revealing a dry, reedy tone that betrays the comfort of familiarity. A master of melody and the simple improvisation thereof, listening to Geller is like a relaxing walk down a path walked many times before. The pianist plays and leads beautifully, or more properly, allows Geller to do so."[4] The All About Jazz review by Jack Bowers awarded the album 5 stars and simply states: "On An Evening with Herb Geller the saxophonist is backed by the splendid Italian pianist Roberto Magris and his working trio on what may be Geller's last recording (he died four years later, on December 19, 2013). Geller plays like a musician many years his junior; the technique is as clean and sharp as ever, the intonation strong, the flow of ideas fresh and abundant. While Geller swings throughout, he is shadowed closely by Magris whose nimble approach to the keyboard is equaled by his exemplary sense of time and large reservoir of engaging ad-libs."[5]
