The AllMusic review by Ken Dryden said "Two at the Top is one of the label's finest releases, a session pairing Frank Wess and the unjustly neglected Johnny Coles, accompanied by a potent rhythm section Highly recommended".[3] On All About Jazz Marc Myers called it "a powerfully superb jazz album".[5]
