In a contemporary review, Music Week commented on Gillespie's continued popularity, adding that Montreux '77 is a jam session set that "finds Diz in sparkling form" aided by his bandmates, complimenting Gillespie's muted trumpet playing on "Girl of My Dreams" and Milt Jackson's poised playing on the ballad "But Beautiful" but particularly praising Jon Faddis for his "remarkabnle solo" on "Here's That Rainy Day".^[4]

The AllMusic review stated that "few fireworks occur in what should have been an explosive encounter".^[2]
