Reception
In his review on
AllMusic , Robert Taylor notes: "The set is a fine mix of standards and originals ... Along with the duets he recorded with Stan Getz, this stands as the high-water mark in his stellar recording career".
[7] In
JazzTimes , Philip Booth wrote: "At the Piano , Kenny Barron’s debut solo album, recorded in 1981 on a nine-foot Steinway in the same New York studio that was home to high-end classical players, offers an up-close snapshot of the virtuosity, broadly encompassing style and wide-ranging repertoire that would come to define his storied career".
