Archie Semple has been regarded as a 'very distinctive player with a rich and quirky musical imagination'. Many regarded Semple as a strong presence on the British traditional jazz scene.

He made very few recordings under his own name, but these recordings did not enjoy wide circulation which helped Semple's 'cult status'.

In 1964 whilst on the stage of the Richmond Jazz Festival, Archie suffered a catastrophic nervous breakdown. Semple retired from playing aged 36 in 1965 and died nine years later in London aged 45 in January 1974.
