Reception

Scott Yanow, in his review for AllMusic states, "Ray Bryant's first solo piano album is rightfully considered a classic. Bryant, at the time thought of as a young modern traditionalist, has always felt perfectly at home playing the blues... highly recommended".Yanow, S. Allmusic Review accessed May 15, 2014
