Allmusic:
Although tenor saxophonist Dexter Gordon seemed to have been largely forgotten in the U.S. during his long residence in Europe, he was playing in prime form during the period and made occasional trips back to America. On this CD reissue, Gordon teams up with pianist Wynton Kelly (one of his last recordings), bassist Sam Jones and drummer Roy Brooks for an obscure original ("Evergreenish"), "The Jumpin' Blues," the veteran ballad "For Sentimental Reasons" and three songs that were long a part of Gordon's repertoire: "Star Eyes," "Rhythm-A-Ning" and "If You Could See Me Now." Dexter Gordon is in fine form on the excellent straightahead bop set.

Tracks
1. "Evergreenish" - 6:02
2. "For Sentimental Reasons" (William Best, Deek Watson) - 6:49
3. "Star Eyes" (Gene de Paul, Don Raye) - 5:21
4. "Rhythm-a-Ning" (Thelonious Monk) - 6:51
5. "If You Could See Me Now" (Tadd Dameron, Carl Sigman) - 6:34
6. "The Jumpin' Blues" (Jay McShann, Charlie Parker) - 5:46
