The album consists of 11 tracks: a mix of his own compositions and famous jazz standards, including a version of "Mr. Bojangles" featuring his wife, vocalist Melissa Walker.

[18] Matt Collar of AllMusic wrote "Christian McBride's second big-band album, 2017's Bringin' It, is a robust, swaggeringly performed set of originals and standards showcasing his deft arranging skills and his ensemble's exuberant virtuosity.

The album comes six years after his previous big-band outing, The Good Feeling, and once again finds the bassist conscripting a slew of his talented cohorts (some new, others returning), including saxophonists Steve Wilson and Ron Blake, trumpeters Freddie Hendrix and Brandon Lee, trombonist Steve Davis, pianist Xavier Davis, drummer Quincy Phillips, and others... With Bringin' It, McBride has ultimately crafted a big-band album that retains all of his own formidable, exuberant characteristics."

John Fordham of The Guardian mentioned "McBride’s exciting big band is the perfect festival draw – steeped in old-school swing, Latin jazz, funk and Ray Charlesian soul-blues, bristling with hotshot soloists.

But after that effusive hello, the leader's craft and erudition bloom, in the boppishly Byzantine arrangement and pounding bass-walk of Freddie Hubbard's "Thermo", the bluesiness of Wes Montgomery's "Full House", and the impressionistic, then anthemic, visit to McCoy Tyner's "Sahara".
