"Whether playing a melody line in unison or trading solos, they help the quintet conjure up the sound and spirit of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. The end result is Eastwood's finest album to date, one which has a timeless quality and nothing to pin it to the 21st century. In fact, it could easily have originated in any of the past four decades".

"Kyle Eastwood grew up in the shadow of his father, Clint Eastwood. While having a famous parent undoubtedly opened some doors to him early in his career, Eastwood long ago proved himself as a fine bassist and a bandleader who has now released eight albums of his own ... The music, which consists of six originals from the band and a song apiece by Charles Mingus, Thelonious Monk, Frank Foster and Andrea Morricone, is primarily hard-bop that looks back to the 1960s for inspiration".
