Allmusic 3.5/5 stars

The Talented Touch is an album by American jazz pianist Hank Jones recorded in 1958 for the Capitol label.

Allmusic awarded the album 3½ stars stating "The tracks are rather brief, running less than three and a half minutes each, though musicians the caliber of these four gentleman can say a lot more musically in that time frame than most can during a ten-minute performance. Although this album isn't one of Hank Jones' most essential dates as a leader, it is worth purchasing if it can be found". In JazzTimes, Thomas Conrad wrote "The down-the-middle renditions and charming tags and gentle, tinkling flourishes could have been provided by an artist less accomplished than Hank Jones-although not with his polished elegance. If caution renders this session less than indispensable, it is hard to imagine a nicer, more reassuring piano album to come home to after a difficult day at the office".
