The Penguin Guide to Jazzstates "Astonishingly slow to get going (almost as if it were an unedited take of a live set) and marred by intonation problems with both horns,Talkin' About Youdevelops into a storming session... The rhythm section is faultless and the digital recording is of the highest quality ".[3]In his review forAllMusic,Richard S. Ginell stated "Nat is not the crisp, confident cornetist of old... Altoist Vincent Herring has a more forceful presence on the front line, his raw, hard tone and rhythmic sense not resemblingCannonball's in the least, while Rob Bargad offers competent mainstream piano... The veterans in the rhythm section are just fine – no frills, nothing fancy, qualities that defined Nat's music at the time ".[4]OnAll About JazzDouglas Payne noted "No surprises occur, but it's one solid set that benefits from Nat's sterling work on cornet and highlights alto player Vincent Herring's frighteningly clonedCannonballsound... One can only hope the availability ofTalkin' About Youwill encourage listeners to think twice about Nat Adderley's talents. He's left his own legacy and this set sums it up rather nicely. "[5]
