Reception

An audiophile reviewer commented that the recording balance was inconsistent and that the bass sound on the first two tracks was "fat, tuneless woof as if the instrument were stuffed with a large, very fluffy bath towel".[3]

The AllMusic review by Ken Dryden awarded the album 4 stars writing "Action represents some of Peterson's earliest work for Brunner-Schwer; these sessions were recorded before an invited audience in the studio, with the pianist's working trio of Ray Brown and Ed Thigpen. The group seems extremely relaxed and inspired by the small group of loyal fans, with a brisk waltz treatment of "At Long Last Love" and an extended workout of fellow pianist Billy Taylor's ballad "Easy Walker" starting things off with a flourish. Their approach to "Tin Tin Deo" is remarkably subtle, while Peterson is at his most lyrical during a pair of Gershwin selections, "I've Got a Crush on You" and "A Foggy Day." The influence of Art Tatum is apparent with Peterson's darting runs in "Like Someone in Love.".[4]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz included the album in its suggested "Core Collection".[5]
