In his review for
AllMusic,
Stephen Thomas Erlewine says, "Walter Davis Jr.'s debut record as a leader for
Blue Note is a terrific hard bop session, a driving collection of six original tunes that emphasize the strengths not only of the pianist himself, but also his supporting band... It all adds up to a wonderful straight-ahead
hard bop date, one that's so good it's a wonder that Davis didn't receive another chance to lead a session until 1979." ==Track listing==
