From ALL MUSIC REVIEW ....
Soul meets Jazz in the fresh sounding 18 year old Aretha's debut lp. The Ray Bryant trio are augmented as songs require, with a bluesy rhythm guitar behind most tracks, and selective inclusion of r&b styled Tenor sax (Warren Luckey or Al Sears) & Trombone from Tyree Glen or Quentin Jackson. The suggestion of John Hammond signing her tells us this was on Columbia in the US back then. The myth we were all fed was that the Columbia sides were all a bit tame, and that her arrival at Atlantic unleashed a raw side to her, and maybe in fact there is some reining in to the later Columbia's, but here, this is gutsy and stripped back, with the sound of minimal miking, and live in the studio sound. Every bit as effective is her own piano accompaniment as she sings the trio of Maybe I'm A Fool, Won't be Long and Are You Sure. In fact it seems to drive the gospel edge to her embellishments, giving plenty of depth and variety to a quite astonishingly accomplished first album for a teenage woman just stepping away from the Church door. This is at least the equal of any album in her distinguished career.
