Reception
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 3 stars stating "The three Waldron and two Woode compositions generally have their own personalities (although none became standards) and serve as excellent showcases for Waldron's repetitive and percussive style. A fine effort".Yanow, S. [http://www.allmusic.com/album/plays-the-blues-r149620 AllMusic Review] accessed February 25, 2011
