Review from AllMusic (by Paula Edelstein): The collection presents contemporary Latin jazz with a blend of Brazilian and Afro-Cuban rhythms, smooth jazz textures and lively percussion. It moves from Jeff Linsky's guitar-led "Up Late" and Tania Maria's samba-inflected "Come With Me" through Ed Calle's melodic "San Sebastian," Manfredo Fest's Brazilian-flavored "Agua De Beber" and Mongo Santamaria's rhythmic "Smooth Operator." The closing "Embers," featuring Dave Valentin and Ed Calle, brings the compilation to an upbeat conclusion. Overall, the selection emphasizes the melodic, romantic and relaxed side of contemporary Latin jazz.

Reseña de AllMusic (por Paula Edelstein): La compilacion presenta jazz latino contemporaneo combinando ritmos brasilenos y afrocubanos, texturas de smooth jazz y una percusion muy activa. El recorrido va desde la guitarra de Jeff Linsky en "Up Late" y la samba de "Come With Me" de Tania Maria hasta el melodico "San Sebastian" de Ed Calle, el enfoque brasileno de "Agua De Beber" de Manfredo Fest y el ritmo de "Smooth Operator" de Mongo Santamaria. "Embers", con Dave Valentin y Ed Calle, cierra el conjunto con un caracter animado. En general, la seleccion pone el acento en el aspecto melodico, romantico y relajado del jazz latino contemporaneo.
