AllMusic[2]

The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek states "Bobo Motion is one of percussionist Willie Bobo's best-known recordings of the 1960s... the grooves are tighter and more sophisticated, and the drumming is mixed way up above an uncredited smaller combo... The tune selection is also weirder and reflects the range of Bobo' eclectic tastes, and turns more firmly toward jazz... Recommended".[2]
