Industry Reviews
3.5 Stars - Good Plus - ...Ritenour taps easily into the inherent suavity of Wesness, neatly stirring in understated riffs in lush, softly swinging arrangements...[he] generally does right by the spirit of his tributee, especially on the five Montgomery originals...
Down Beat (06/01/1993)
3 Stars - Good - ...For regular Ritenour fans, this session won't disappoint--in addition to his famously sleek chemistry of deft jazz and discretely injected soul-guitar, there are the tunes Montgomery made famous, like `West Coast Blues' and `Road Song'...
Q (06/01/1993)
...his bluesy warm tribute to the late jazz-guitar icon Wes Montgomery is mostly right on the money... - Rating: B-
