"... featured the beautiful ballad Mona’s Mood."
- DownBeat
"... Mitchell had a sound in every way as individual as his label mates Freddie Hubbard and Lee Morgan ... The Thing To Do makes you wish Mitchell had been this focused and well accompanied more of the time. Blessed with a lyrically brassy tone imbued with a shade of vulnerability perfect for ballads, Mitchell absolutely reveals a confidence and zest in this finely programmed set ... (a reminder) that Mitchell's glowing legacy is worthy of serious reconsideration ..."

Hard bop trumpeter Blue Mitchell recorded The Thing To Do in 1964 for Blue Note, his first for the label as leader, accompanied by a young Chick Corea on piano at the very beginning of his professional career. Corea even contributes the album's closing number, Chick's Tune. Tenor saxophonist Junior Cook joins Mitchell on the front line, backed by bassist Gene Taylor and drummer Al Foster.
