In the Allmusic review by Scott Yanow, he stated: "this live record gives one a good example of how the passionate tenor sounded in clubs during the early '70s... Sanders is heard in top form." [3]
Writing for The Vinyl Press, Bill Hart commented: "The line up on this album is stellar... Sanders had already developed his signature sound- multiphonic, overblown, but never veering out of control, straddling a fine line between the intense and the serene... This is not the most popular Pharoah Sanders album, nor is it necessarily his best.... there are moments of brilliant playing here, and a killer band. This is a cheap entry into first generation spiritual jazz on a label that was one of the wellsprings for the movement." [4]
In an article for Frieze, Harmony Holiday called "Healing Song" "Pharoah's jazz funeral for John Coltrane", and wrote: "Coltrane's spirit re-enters the earth plane through Pharoah and they have a conversation in brushes, whispers and a percussive bellow. Joe Bonner's accompaniment on piano stands out, responding to Coltrane's haunting presence with delight and meditative frenzy. This is a piece of music that heals and absolves and discloses the urgency of that reconciliation, the triumph of the heart that call and response between worlds is in Black musical tradition... This song heals by teaching us how to stand up and dance among ghosts, how to transition from haunted to empowered by simply deciding to raise the dead and let them speak, celebrating their lives through ours."

Live At The Village Vanguard Again! is a live jazz album by saxophonist John Coltrane.

The lineup features Coltrane's quintet, with Coltrane on tenor and soprano saxophones, bass clarinet, and flute, Pharoah Sanders on tenor saxophone and flute, Alice Coltrane on piano, Jimmy Garrison on bass, and Rashied Ali on drums, supplemented by Emanuel Rahim on percussion. It was the quintet's only official recording released during Coltrane's lifetime.

Black Unity is a composition and album by jazz saxophonist Pharoah Sanders, recorded and released in late 1971. The whole album consists of a single thirty-seven-minute track, which was described by critic Joe S. Harrington as "an exercise in sustained harmonic groove that cannot be beaten" when he listed it at #38 on his Top 100 Albums. The compact disc reissue of 1997 unites the two parts as a single track, timed at 37:21.

The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars and states "Lloyd's Coltrane-inspired sound was already in place, and his flute playing was becoming distinctive. The music is essentially melodic but advanced hard bop, a strong start to an important career". The piece "Ol' Five Spot" is a homage to the legendary New York jazz club of the same name. The album was also released with the title Bizarre in the UK, at the time.
