The finesse and skill of everyone on board is evident from the first notes of "It Could Happen to You" through the final chord of "If You Never Come to Me." Everything here, including easy swing, medium-up bebop, and liquid Latin lines, is a marriage of virtuosity and restraint.
- Bob McBride (JAM Magazine)
