Entertainment Reviews:

Q - 3/95, p.125

4 Stars - Excellent - "...A great purchase."

Vibe - 3/95, p.106

"...His writing...is eerie, liquid, yet swinging in a major way....The album points to the stars while paying homage to the Middle Passage--trumpeter Eddie Henderson contributes exquisitely to the mood with several spacey-ass solos that make more earthbound conceptions of the horn sound almost morbid in comparison..."
