Persuasive Percussion Volume 3 debuted on the Billboard magazine pop album chart on May 1, 1961, peaked at the No. 3 spot, and remained on the chart for 51 weeks.[4]
AllMusic gave the album a rating of two-and-a-half stars. Reviewer Dave Nathan wrote: "This is one in a series of LP's that Command records issued to show off its considerable recording skills rather than for any lasting musical value."[3]
