Don't Look Back is an album by jazz cornetist Nat Adderley recorded in 1976 and released on the Danish SteepleChase label and on Inner City Records in the US.^[1]

Reception

The Penguin Guide to Jazz states "Adderley's reputation as a mainstream traditionalist takes a knock with sets like these. Unfortunately the results aren't by any means commensurate with the daring of the lineup. ... A bold effort but not quite there".^[2]
