"... this '93 session, released for the first time, showcases the soul-jazz master not only at his vocal peak but also among the most exemplary company of his long, distinguished career: pianist Joe Sample, bassist Marcus Miller and percussionist Paulinho da Costa, as well as R&B guitar virtuoso Eric Gale and drummer Steve Gadd, then recent Stuff alumni. An inveterate crowd-pleaser, Jarreau builds his 11-track set list primarily around album staples dating back to his 1975 debut, We Got By".

"It was his fifth appearance at the festival and this performance is a bit of a victory lap ... His enunciation is liquid and phrasing spontaneous, yet Jarreau often shortchanges the story of the song. "Try A Little Tenderness" subverts the tune's meaning with his look-at-me technical flash. Shame".
