Writing for AllMusic, critic Scott Yanow wrote "A prelude to his outstanding Pablo recordings, My Favorite Instrument is one of Peterson's top albums of the 1960s."[1] This album was the fourth part of Peterson's Exclusively for My Friends series on MPS.

The Penguin Guide to Jazz included the album in its suggested "Core Collection".[2]
