  Rearin' Back is an album by saxophonist Sonny Stitt recorded in 1962 and released on the Argo label.
  
  ## Reception
  
  Down Beat magazine's Harvey Pekar said in his April 11, 1963 review that "Stitt solos brilliantly... Stitt conceives and executes extremely complex passages so easily that some have come to take his work for granted."
  
  The Allmusic site awarded the album 3 stars.
