Scott Yanow of Allmusic states, "John Wright, who is now quite obscure, recorded five albums during 1960-62 that emphasized the souful side of hard bop. ... Wright performs seven of his originals, all of which have something to do with Chicago ... Wright plays soulfully while swinging".[4]

Production
gollark: So how are you meant to do *five*? Is there even time for that?
gollark: My school barely lets you do *four*.
gollark: ... *five* A-levels?
gollark: I got a 6 in the møcks, which would be passing in the real exams.
gollark: I hope I don't have to do English exams though. I hate English Literature/Language the subjects and especially the exams. I got higher Latin and Ancient Greek grades than English in the mock exams.
