Reception
Script error: No such module "Music ratings".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". The contemporaneous DownBeat reviewer, John S. Wilson, suggested that the material chosen for the album did not allow Donaldson's potential to be fully realized.[2] 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."[3]
