The Penguin Guide to Jazz states "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 You develops into a storming session ... The rhythm section is faultless and the digital recording is of the highest quality".[2] In his review for AllMusic, 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 resembling Cannonball'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".[3] On All About Jazz Douglas 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 cloned Cannonball sound ... One can only hope the availability of Talkin' About You will encourage listeners to think twice about Nat Adderley's talents. He's left his own legacy and this set sums it up rather nicely."[4]
