Down Beat[4]

The Allmusic site awarded the album 4½ stars, stating "A striking debut, This Is Walt Dickerson! sets the stage for continued excellence, but also proves that Dickerson's talent was already fully formed. ".[3] Down Beat reviewer Don DeMichael wrote "Dickerson plays the whole instrument, not just part of it. But more important than his approach to the instrument is Dickerson's approach to music. The challenge he throws at himself and the listener outweighs other considerations one might have... what he offers in this album is far above the usual. ...This album is experience-giving and provocative."[5]

Personnel
gollark: It's just... if you have 19 digits, you can make arbitrary payments using someone's account?
gollark: I do kind of wonder, sometimes, how credit card payment, well, doesn't run into horrible problems constantly.
gollark: Neat.
gollark: Oh, so you're doing software stuff for them and also designing... retail-y hardware a bit?
gollark: Well, I have somewhat working backups, so probably "wipe server, reinstall from USB stick, reload important stuff but probably keep external network access down for a bit".
