"Consisting mostly of original compositions by Lateef or his keyboard player Kenny Barron — although there is also an obscure number entitled Hey Jude by some jokers called Lennon and McCartney — The Gentle Giant makes for an instructive comparison with the earlier album [The Blue Yusef Lateed]. Recorded some four years after The Blue Yusef Lateef there is some notable continuity in the sound, and although most of the backing musicians are different, we are treated to the reappearance of Kermit Moore on cello and the backing vocalists The Sweet Inspirations, led by Cissy Houston ... an album of wall-to-wall excellence, with a lovely seventies feel."
