“[Scott Reeves’] compositions are sophisticated yet accessible, his arrangements scrupulously burnished and invariably engaging.” – Jack Bowers, All About Jazz
“[The quintet’s] sound slips out of the ‘standard’ description, with its atmosphere of adventure and edgy energy, and an approach that more than hints at the avant-garde in a way that perhaps Jackie McLean did on his ’60s Blue Note recordings… [Reeves’] solos are spirited and spontaneous.”
– Dan McClenaghan, All About Jazz
