Lindsay Planer of AllMusic states, "Dexter Gordon's return Stateside resulted in the tenor participating in his first studio sessions in nearly a decade. Not only would his April 1969 confab with James Moody (tenor sax), Barry Harris (piano), Buster Williams (bass), and Albert 'Tootie' Heath (drums) yield this long player, but its predecessor/companion The Tower of Power! as well".[2]
