Reception

Scott Yanow of Allmusic states, "Gordon was somewhat forgotten in the United States at the time (his "comeback" was still four years away), but is in excellent form". John Barret Jr. reviewed the CD reissue for All About Jazz in 1999 stating "This one takes a little while to hit its stride, but when it does, you’ll probably find something you like... It’s an enjoyable album; when Dexter gets going, he really goes. But his fans already know that".
