Allmusic[3]

The Allmusic review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine stated: "Landslide is comprised of previously unreleased material from three separate Dexter Gordon-led sessions between May 1961 and June 1962. ... All three sessions hold together fairly well, and although nothing on the record qualifies as a masterpiece, nothing is bad, either. In comparison to the released sessions, this material may pale somewhat, but it remains first-rate hard bop and is recommended to Gordon collectors".[3]
