In his review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow states "The distinctive tenors David Newman and Clifford Jordan make for a potent team on this live jam session set which finds Jordan sitting in with Newman's quartet ... The six performances each clock in between 11 and 15 minutes with plenty of stretching out for the two veteran saxophonists ... Easily recommended to straightahead jazz fans".[5]
