Writing for AllMusic, Scott Yanow remarked: "Although there are some passionate moments, this is actually one of his mellower sessions... There are some heated moments... but Sanders's trademark screeches are at a minimum this time around."[1]
The authors of the
In a review for All About Jazz, Chris May stated: "Without at any time attempting to 'be' Coltrane, retaining his own singular sound and style throughout, Sanders creates a uniquely vibrant evocation of Coltrane's genius at particular time in his development. Interestingly — some may say happily — the particular time Sanders chooses to evoke is not the late period Coltrane with which he'd personally been involved... Crescent with Love is... one of Sanders's finest mature albums. The sound he developed alongside Coltrane, and then burnished and refined on his own late 1960s/early 1970s albums, is here in its full grown-up glory—out there but lyrical, multiphonic but mellifluous... Magnificent music through and through."[6]
