A review in the British Gramophone magazine stated: "When the mood takes him, Lateef can rip through tile choruses, eating up the chord changes like a man with only minutes to live, but most of the time he is more concerned in using his considerable instrumental technique to its best advantage and displaying one of the most gorgeous tenor saxophone tones since Don Byas".[4]
