Reception
AllMusic awarded the album 3 stars, stating: "The emphasis is on ballads and his treatments of these songs (which include three religious pieces) are respectful, melodic and lightly swinging. There is not much variety here but the music (within its limitations) is enjoyable".
Downbeat assigned a 4 star rating to the album. Reviewer Chip Stern wrote, "Tiptoe Tapdance is refined and engaging".
