Be Still is an album by Dave Douglas' who is a prolific trumpeter, composer, and educator from New York City.

[3] Thom Jurek for Allmusic states, "Be Still is brimming with poetic elegance; but it is also adventurous in its graceful articulation of folk forms (jazz is one of them, after all), and possesses a creativity and musical sophistication that is above all, revelatory".

[4] Writing for All About Jazz, Glenn Astarita said "Be Still is a significant entry into Douglas's hefty and multifarious discography.

Figuratively speaking, the program may be analogous to an elegantly wrapped gift waiting to be opened".

[5] PopMatters' Will Layman stated "With Be Still, Dave Douglas seems to be standing both smack in the middle of American art—jazz, sure, but so much else as well—and slightly apart from it.
