"A four-star sonic journey that perfectly embodies the warmth, detail, and dynamic range synonymous with McIntosh… a masterful performance that spans a range of jazz styles… every detail is rendered with stunning clarity… The immersive soundstage transports the listener directly into the performance, while the pristine analog recording beautifully captures the nuances of each instrument."
– Glenn Astarita, All About Jazz
"This is a 100% top quality all-analog production… a superb-sounding record in every possible way… consider the sound a Tracking Angle 11 [out of 11]… an audiophile demo record with system-testing spectacularly natural sound… The record will show off how good analog sounds, how good the McIntosh systems sound, how good the recording is and, unfortunately, how mediocre are so many recordings in all of our collections."
– Michael Fremer, Tracking Angle
