Allmusic.com gave Earl “Fatha” Hines Plays Hits He Missed a 3 star review:

This may very well have been pianist Earl Hines’s final recording although he lived until 1983. The concept of this solo LP is quite logical and it is interesting to hear this veteran of the 1920s playing such tunes as “Birdland,” “Misty” and “The Preacher.” But some of these songs are not “hits” he missed such as “Humoresque,” “Ain’t Misbehavin’,” and “Sophisticated Lady”; in fact he recorded those songs previously. Despite him hedging his bets, this is a fine set with Earl Hines showing that he was always in his prime, even 55 years after his recording debut.
