The Allmusic review recommended the album awarding it 4 stars and stating "Xanadu was a perfect label for altoist Charles McPherson since he was always a bop-based improviser who was perfectly at home jamming straightahead standards".[3]

Personnel
gollark: You should believe in one if there's good evidence that one exists, not otherwise.
gollark: Again, clear would be "written in 50-foot letters of fire in the sky".
gollark: I don't consider this clear because it's not distinguished from the *other* religious books which also claim to be ultimate universal truth.
gollark: I don't think this justifies being punished forever, *infinitely*, especially since, as you said, part of it is a product of the environment. Guess which omnipotent god set up that environment?
gollark: No, this is also terrible. They only punish you *after* you do things, with no clear guide about what's acceptable and what isn't.
