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".[2] 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."[4]
