Lindsay Planer of Allmusic states, "It certainly ranks up there as one of Gordon's greats".[2] Derek Taylor reviewed the CD reissue for All About Jazz in 2000 stating "While this disc isn’t a classic on par with say much of his Blue Note work it still offers up immediate proof of why he resides in the upper echelon of the tenor saxophone hierarchy".[4]

Personnel

gollark: Air coolers are fine at CPUs' stock clock speeds, just not for lots of overclocking. Also for bad airflow cases, I guess.
gollark: I use a single old 1080p monitor.
gollark: Water cooling is actually not that useful unless you do heavy overclocking, air coolers are fine.
gollark: There are probably services to build specified part lists for you, which is likely cheaper than just going for a prebuilt.
gollark: Is that the Intel *stock cooler*? Weeeird.
