Richard S. Ginell of AllMusic gave the album four and a half out of five stars, praising Guaraldi and Sete for fluidly combining their styles.[2]

Guaraldi historian and author Derrick Bang offered equal praise, stating that Guaraldi and Sete represented "the perfect musical marriage," adding that Vince Guaraldi, Bola Sete and Friends is the "most consistent" of their three album collaborations.[1]

Cashbox cited the album as a Jazz Pick: "Here's a delightful musical marriage spotlighting the distinctive musical talents of Bola Sete and Vince Guaraldi ... The two jazzmen compliment each other as they turn in superlative renditions of 'Days of Wine and Roses,' 'Star Song' and 'Moon Rays.' Loads of sales potential here."[4]

In 2000, Vince Guaraldi, Bola Sete and Friends was issued on CD coupled with Live at El Matador (1966) as Vince & Bola.
