AllMusic critic Scott Yanow stated "the great Dexter really stretches out on four numbers ... The recording quality is decent, if not flawless, but Gordon's playing is often quite passionate ... Although not essential this set finds the tenor in excellent form".[3] On All About Jazz Joel Roberts observed "To hear Dexter Gordon live in this period is to hear one of the most powerful instrumentalists in jazz at the very top of his form. On four extended numbers, clocking in at between twelve and twenty minutes, Gordon plays fast, furious and remarkably athletic tenor alongside an outstanding rhythm section".[5]
