Reception
editThe Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars and states "A measure of the band's popularity is that Lloyd and his sidemen were able to have a very successful tour of the Soviet Union during a period when jazz was still being discouraged by the communists. This well-received festival appearance has four lengthy performances... and Lloyd (who has always had a soft-toned Coltrane influenced tenor style and a more distinctive voice on flute) is in top form".[2]
