Review by Scott Yanow
Strange as it seems, the main criticism about this CD and about Kenny Burrell's playing during the past couple decades is that he is often overly tasteful. On this set (which has six unaccompanied guitar solos, four duets with bassist Ray Drummond, and three trio numbers with Drummond and drummer Yoron Israel), Burrell is so loving of the melodies that he adds very little of himself other than his beautiful tone. Although the tunes are superior, none of these versions are definitive and the mellow results rarely rise above the level of background music.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Por extraño que parezca, la principal crítica a este CD y a la actuación de Kenny Burrell durante las últimas dos décadas es que a menudo tiene demasiado buen gusto. En este set (que tiene seis solos de guitarra no acompañados, cuatro dúos con el bajista Ray Drummond, y tres números de trío con Drummond y el baterista Yoron Israel), Burrell es tan amante de las melodías que añade muy poco de sí mismo aparte de su hermoso tono. Aunque las melodías son superiores, ninguna de estas versiones es definitiva y los resultados suaves rara vez superan el nivel de la música de fondo.
