"This Masquerade" received the award Record of the Year for LiPuma and Benson, while it was nominated as Song of the Year for Leon Russell and as Best Pop Vocal Performance, Male for Benson.Critical receptionProfessional ratingsReview scoresSourceRatingChristgau's Record GuideCThe Penguin Guide to Jazz RecordingsIn a contemporaneous review for The Village Voice, music critic Robert Christgau gave the album a "C" and dismissed most of its music as "mush". In a retrospective review, Allmusic's Richard S. Ginell gave it three-and-a-half out of five stars and said that, although Benson's guitar is "as assured and fluid as ever", Breezin' is "really not so much a breakthrough as it is a transition album; the guitar is still the core of his identity."Track listingSide oneNo.TitleWriter(s)Length1."Breezin'"Bobby Womack5:402."This Masquerade"Leon Russell8:033."Six to Four"Phil Upchurch5:06Side twoNo.TitleWriter(s)Length1."Affirmation"José Feliciano7:012."So This is Love?"Benson7:033."Lady"Ronnie Foster5:49
