Industry Reviews 4 stars out of 5 -- [A]n ambitious new album....The music reverberates with echoes of legendary big band ensembles from the past...
[Hargrove] manages to incorporate various stylistic interests he has shown in the past, including a shuffling old-school blues chart, nods toward Cuba, and '60s-style modal musings.
3.5 stars out of 5 -- This is a player's program just as much as it is an ensemble effort. Time and again, band members step forward for a moment in the spotlight.
