[12] The Gazette said that "Frisell's moody, impressionistic guitar serves as a perfect backdrop to Byron's clean, articulate clarinet".

[14] The Chicago Sun-Times noted that "few contemporary musicians roam the stylistic landscape as restlessly or rewardingly as clarinetist Don Byron".

"[16] The Globe and Mail said that Byron's "clarinet, for all of its piping melody and pure tones, probably couldn't have carried the disc without the assistance of Frisell".

[19] The Irish Times concluded that "Byron spins a series of solos that rely for impact more on their logic and originality of line than on tone".

[20] The Independent said, "Byron's sounds are beautifully airy, on a set of free-floating tunes whose delicate treatment by the band creates a very superior form of chamber-jazz, with none of the usual stuffiness that term implies.
