Reception

More information Review scores, Source ...

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated: "The musicianship is at a high level and, although Sanders does not shriek as much as one might hope (the Trane-ish influence was particularly strong during this relatively mellow period), he is in fine form".[2]

The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings praised "Doktor Pitt," noting that it "makes the album," and calling it "a big-voiced, dramatic piece with some of Sanders's best playing from this period."[3]

Jazz Fuel's Matt Fripp included the album in his selection of "Ten Iconic Pharoah Sanders Albums," and commented: "His former mentor John Coltrane is clearly referenced in a straight ballad reading of the standard 'Easy To Remember', whilst a fiery uptempo modal original 'You've Got To Have Freedom' clearly shadows the approach of Coltrane's classic quartet of the early 1960s."[4]
