Reception

The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine awarded the album 3 calling it:

"a pretty good record, one that hardcore fans will find satisfying after they've exhausted the greater Smith sessions, but not one that will captivate the attentions of anyone who isn't a dyed-in-the-wool Jimmy Smith aficionado". [2]

<i>Light-Foot</i> 1959 studio album by Lou Donaldson

Light-Foot is an album by jazz saxophonist Lou Donaldson recorded for the Blue Note label and performed by Donaldson's Quintet with Herman Foster, Peck Morrison, Jimmy Wormsworth, and Ray Barretto. The album was awarded 3 stars by Stephen Thomas Erlewine in an Allmusic review which stated "With Light Foot, Donaldson still was pretty firmly grounded in bop, but the tempos began to slow down, and his blues influence came to the forefront; furthermore, the bop tracks are hard bop, not straight bop, which tended to dominate his previous recordings. That diversity makes Light Foot an interesting listen, but the record suffers from slightly uneven material and performances."
