Transcription
Reception
The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars and states "Lloyd was going for more of a jazz sound, something more basic and lyrical as opposed to exotic and unusual."[1]
The All About Jazz review by Larry Koenigsberg stated "the most notable feature of his new CD is his return to form, as opposed to merely a return to format. He sounds the best he has since he left his Big Sur retreat to perform and record for ECM."[4] In another review for the same website Douglas Payne stated "Lloyd seems to sound warmer, somewhat romantic—and a touch more inspired than usual... This is a quartet that offers much to explore."[5]
