[6] The album bears a dedication to Douglas’s older brother, Damon, who died in June 2015 after a long fight with cancer.

[7] Cormac Larkin of Irish Times stated "Ever the innovator, trumpeter Dave Douglas’s latest release, through his own Greenleaf label, is another brave attempt to change the way we consume music...

[4] Mark Milano of The Absolute Sound wrote "Douglas’ style here is restless and engaged in the moment in a way that reveals his time spent in less explicitly jazz-rooted free improvisation, favoring long lines with a soft attack and rarely lingering on a single note, while the writing and interplay provide a 1960s modern jazz backdrop and enough information to reward many listens.

Jon Irabagon offers the other main voice on tenor, always melodic and at times fragile in a way that blends well into a group sound that is consistently more than the sum of its parts.

The sound quality is high, providing a good example of how acoustic music can be recorded in a close-up manner without sacrificing the ambience of the room".
