Reception
The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album a 5 stars stating "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's orbit and, if anything, he slightly overshadows the cooler-toned Jordan. Recommended."
