The LondonJazzCollector remarks upon Gordon's role in encouraging young talent and seasoned pros alike to stretch themselves, stating "it’s great to find [Gordon] give lots of space to the other players, particularly in the Byrd-penned “Tanya” which occupies all of side one. Dexter is quietly restrained, Byrd plays to Hubbard, Drew plays to Pearson and Hancock, Taylor mixes Blakey with a touch of Williams, and NHOP [Pedersen] walks dreamlike through the 18 minute space."[6]
