Review by Scott Yanow
Organist Jimmy Smith performs a spirited set of blues-based material (only "You've Changed" is a change of pace) with a dozen of his Los Angeles-based friends including trumpeter Oscar Brashear, the underrated tenor Herman Riley (who is best among the supporting cast), guitarist Philip Upchurch and singers Marlena Shaw and Bernard Ighner who have two vocals apiece. Nothing that surprising occurs other than Smith's surprisingly effective vocal on "Hurry Change, If You're Comin'," but the swinging music, which was arranged by Johnny Pate, should please Jimmy Smith's fans.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
El organista Jimmy Smith interpreta un animado conjunto de material basado en el blues (sólo "You've Changed" es un cambio de ritmo) con una docena de sus amigos de Los Ángeles, incluyendo al trompetista Oscar Brashear, el infravalorado tenor Herman Riley (que es el mejor entre el reparto secundario), el guitarrista Philip Upchurch y los cantantes Marlena Shaw y Bernard Ighner que tienen dos voces cada uno. No hay nada tan sorprendente como la voz sorprendentemente efectiva de Smith en "Hurry Change, If You're Comin'", pero la música swing, que fue arreglada por Johnny Pate, debería complacer a los fans de Jimmy Smith.
