Reception

In JazzTimes, Owen Cordle wrote: "Something Personal is a typical offering from veteran tenor saxophonist Houston Person: warm ballads, an R&B cooker, a couple of standards with a bossa-nova beat and a couple of soulful swingers. ... All around, this is another good one from the ever-dependable Person".^[2]
