Critical reception
AllMusic critic Scott Yanow stated "This particular LP features the great tenor with a rhythm section comprised of Europe's best ... Gordon takes long solos that never seem to run out of ideas, making this set a valuable addition to his lengthy discography".[4]
DownBeat assigned the album 4.5 stars.[7] Reviewer Arthur Moorhead wrote, ""In contrast to his usual reserved studio approach, Dexter plays with a searing intensity, most notably on the title track—an intensity missing in many of his current recordings".[7]
