The editors of AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars, and reviewer Steve Leggett called it "bright and percussive," writing: "A.T.'s Delight is a solid outing, with a wonderfully nervous but completely focused energy".[3]
Chris Hovan of MusicHound Jazz described the album as "a brilliantly arranged session," and noted the "spirited exchanges between Taylor and conga drummer Potato Valdez," as well as "the appearance of two stellar Kenny Dorham compositions."[4]
Writing for Coda, Duck Baker commented: "Stanley Turrentine and seldom-heard trumpeter Dave Burns are in top form, the rhythm section is fantastic, and excellent arrangements of challenging jazz fare... make Delight a must."[6]
