Reception

In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow stated: "this CD is highly recommended to fans of tenor battles and straight-ahead jazz... Jug and Gordon... are heard in prime, combative form."
A writer for Billboard wrote: "When together the accent is on excitement as the two musicians push each other onwards."
