Reckless is the debut studio album by Australian rock and pop band The Sports, released in May 1978. The album peaked at number 43 on the Australian Kent Music Report.
John Magian from Woroni said "Reckless is one of the finest debut albums ever, to emerge from Australia; passionate, alive, and in its own way, unique." adding "Their music represents a perfect synthesis of archetypal 50s romance and the cutting edge neurotic edge of life in the 70s. Ian McFarlane though it "displayed plenty of charm". Jim Worbois from AllMusic said; "On first listen, The Sports sound a bit like early Joe Jackson. To leave it at that would be unfair to The Sports, who show they feel equally comfortable doing rockabilly ("Rockabilly Billy") or Van Morrison-style ballads like "You Ain't Home Yet"."
