Scott Yanow of AllMusic states, "Veteran tenor-saxophonist Dexter Gordon welcomed trumpeter Freddie Hubbard to his recording group several times during his career and each collaboration was quite rewarding.... This CD should please collectors".Yanow, S. [http://www.allmusic.com/album/generation-mw0000173709 AllMusic Review] accessed July 16, 2013
