"The guitar as only Pat Martino can play , reminds me of the exit album, but then that was my favorite LP. This album kicks Pat clearly commands the instrument in the millienium."
Classic ++

"I like Pat Martino a lot but I can't say I'm a "fan" in the sense of knowing a lot of what he's done. I bought this CD after hearing him live, just to hear him some more. This CD has become one of my top favorite jazz CDs - every song in it sounds somehow "familiar", it's as if each song plays a kind of jazz style that I've heard before, but then performs it in such a way that it somehow sounds like a total classic but better, as if that classic were being unwoven before me fresh and new.
I don't have many CDs where each and every song is a joy to listen to, where I have to hear the CD once again each time because I just want more. This is certainly one of them, and it's right at the top. Pat Martino's playing is fabulous, honest, interesting, clean, involving, just perfect - but then all the other band members are excellent too. This is a great CD."

"If you are a Martino fan, old school or after his return this is a fine pice of post bop to own. It is an accessible album and also one for those who like the idea of listening to midnight jazz on the hot, steaming streets of L.A. Certainly surpasses other recent offerings such as Nightwings. However, if you are a true Martino fan then this is an essential part of the jigsaw anyway.
