Not For Nothin' is Dave Holland's 13th release on the ECM record label, and the third to feature his current working quintet. As is standard for Holland's releases, the program consists of numerous compositions by the other band members, in this case one each, in addition to the majority written by Holland. The album's longest track - What Goes Around - was re-recorded by Holland in a big-band arrangement on the album immediately following Not For Nothin' - What Goes Around.

Reception
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4.5 stars stating "This is postmodern poetic singing at its finest. Who said jazz is a dead art form? Let he or she who has the ears to hear, hear; the Dave Holland Quintet is carrying the banner of creative music in the jazz tradition in the 21st century.".
