The Billboard review in 1955 stated: "This is strong, vibrant, swinging jazz of the moderate-modern school."[4] The Penguin Guide to Jazz states: "Everything was already in place at the time of his 1955 debut with brother Nat playing the eternal second fiddle".[3] The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states: "Already at this early stage, Adderley was a powerful player with a soulful sound that was almost distinctive."[5]
