Industry Reviews ...his jazziest effort yet....the playing follows the spirit of the music... Musician (05/01/1993)
4 Stars - Very Good - ...Granted, Hornsby is no Phineas Newborn, but his chordal voicings are far more adventurous and his phrasing far more supple than your average million-seller pop star... Down Beat (06/01/1993)
3 Stars - Good - ...His recent tour as part of The Grateful Dead seems to have affected his approach significantly, making this offering looser, less structured than before, and all the more acceptable for the humanity such a relaxed attitude confers on the songs... Q (06/01/1993)
3.5 Stars - Very Good - ...radiates taste, smarts and ambition...his most musician-ly work and perhaps his most personal....By synthesizing choice bits from diverse traditions, Bruce Hornsby delivers something new... Rolling Stone (06/10/1993)
