Reception
Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating Allmusic [ 3]
The Allmusic site awarded the album 2 stars, stating: "Moody and long-forgotten, like the film it was inspired by, Phaedra interchanges film-like cues with some torrid jazz content (mostly courtesy of Phil Woods). Makes an interesting case for 'Greek Jazz.'"[ 3]
