This heart-warming exciting and deeply earthy album is the third - and in many ways the most satisfying - recording by the remarkable CANNONBALL ADDERLEY Quintet, a group that has proven to be one of the major, and certainly one of the very swiftest, success stories in Jazz.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars and states "a fine all-around set from the Cannonball Adderley Quintet... finds his band in top form... It's a strong introduction to the music of this classic hard bop group". The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 4 stars stating "At the Lighthouse, which marked Vic Feldman's arrival in the group, is a near-classic, opening on the immortal version of "Sack O' Woe" and steaming through a vintage Adderley set in front of a cheering and fingersnapping crowd.

At the Lighthouse is an excellent document of soul-jazz at both its jazziest and most soulful.
