Reception
{{Album ratings
| rev1 = Allmusic
}}
Allmusic awarded the album 3 stars stating "A fine, soulful jazz date, mostly slow blues and ballads, from one of the kings of honky-tonk saxophone. Jackson's smooth, Ben Webster-ish tenor playing is seldom surprising, but always satisfying".Roberts, J. [http://www.allmusic.com/album/really-groovin-mw0000875784 Allmusic listing] accessed February 19, 2013
