"The original songs here provide most of the set's highlights. Instrumental opener "Kenner Boogie," named after Batiste's hometown, is a showcase for his skill at mixing stride, ragtime and boogie-woogie styles into a rollicking whole. "Mr. Buddy" is a beautifully simple ballad, and "Is It Over" sounds, in the best possible way, like Ray Charles covering a lost Randy Newman tune. Such moments should leave listeners longing for more Batiste originals and fewer homages".
