Marcela Breton of the Jazz Journalists Association nominated the album as one of the 10 Best of 2011.

JazzTalent.com's review by Dustin Garlitz states “Welcome to Hungary ! is a Bags and Trane collaboration configured for the 21st century. Tommy Vig’s Orchestra is truly outstanding on all fronts, and his arrangements are, of course, nothing less than top-notch."

All About Jazz's reviews by Jerry D'Souza, Hrayr Attarian, and Jack Bowers call the album “a gem of big band swing," “a well-rounded and delightful introduction to an artist who deserves long overdue recognition as a composer, improviser and instrumentalist," and “big-band jazz [leaning] toward the more adventurous," respectively.

Chris Spector of Midwest Record states “Certainly music for free thinkers."
