Reception
Allmusic's Alex Henderson said: "McGriff was 64 when this CD was recorded in 2000 and, at that age, he wasn't trying to reinvent the wheel. But his fans expected him to provide soul-jazz/hard bop that was solid and consistent; Feelin' It definitely fits that description". Douglas Payne noted "McGriff sounds ok here, but he's sounded this way for years. There's absolutely nothing wrong with what happens here. There's absolutely nothing memorable about it either".Payne, D. Jimmy McGriff Reviews, accessed October 22, 2018 In JazzTimes, Owen Cordle wrote "I hope there’ll always be a place for this kind of music in the record industry and on the scene. It’s a reservoir of the right stuff".Cordle, O. Review, accessed October 22, 2018
