AllMusic critic David R. Adler stated "This previously unreleased live recording, from a 1974 Scandinavian tour, highlights the strong partnership of Dexter Gordon and trumpeter Benny Bailey. ... Happily, the disc captures Gordon in excellent form. From the very first minutes, his tonal command and forceful yet laid-back swing transport the listener. Bailey's playing is extroverted, full of brash wit."[3]

gollark: Textures are for wimps.
gollark: I think the main issue I have with them is that they're just a bit flat.
gollark: Maybe (if possible) make the liquid animated and the metal a bit more non-flat-colored?
gollark: It's okay, but it looks kind of flat somehow.
gollark: Maybe add a liquidy texture inside them and add a kind of metal-looking frame?
