Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow states, "Clifford Jordan's first date as a leader actually found him sharing a heated jam session with fellow tenor John Gilmore. ... This was one of Gilmore's few sessions outside of Sun Ra. This session finds both young tenor men in fine form. Recommended."[3]

The Penguin Jazz Guide suggests that the album may be “the neglected masterpiece of Blue Note hard bop”, noting that Gilmore plays in a style distinct from the freer approach he used with Sun Ra, and that Jordan solos powerfully but with “real thought and logic”.[6]
