AllMusic	[1]

On AllMusic Dave Lynch wrote, "Of course, the Allmans sound was a major touchstone for Sea Level; certainly, Leavell's pianism had reached its largest audience ever with his solo break on "Jessica", and he would bring similar stylings to his quartet's 1977 eponymous debut album. But Sea Level didn't need to stand in the shadow of any other group, as the debut made clear.... Sea Level was a fine debut from a killer quartet..."^[1]
