Track listing

Greg Adams gave the album 3½ out of 5 stars in Allmusic and said, "Armstrong had one of the most recognizable and personality-laden voices of the 20th century, and although he was past his prime at the time, "Hello, Dolly!" shows him at his '60s best."
Digby Fairweather included the album in the selected Armstrong discography in The Rough Guide to Jazz, saying that "Armstrong has established himself in 1964 with a new generation of fans."
