Release and reception

Anita Sings the Most was released by Verve Records.[2] Jazz: The Rough Guide identified the album as one that shows O'Day's "rhythmic invention and accuracy".[3] The AllMusic reviewer wrote: "The very brief playing time (just 33 minutes) is unfortunate on this set, but the high quality definitely makes up for the lack of quantity. A gem."[1]
