Don't Look Back is an album by jazz cornetist Nat Adderley recorded in 1976 and released on the Danish SteepleChase label and on Inner City Records in the US.
Reception
The Penguin Guide to Jazz states "Adderley's reputation as a mainstream traditionalist takes a knock with sets like these. Unfortunately the results aren't by any means commensurate with the daring of the lineup. ... A bold effort but not quite there".
