"Some freewheeling counterpoint between the leader and Hathaway on Sweet Baby, and a snappy, funky Latin medley are creative flights that sweep smooth jazz out of its formulaic habits. It's a relaxed, classy and honest tribute".

"Al Jarreau got his start playing in a jazz trio led by pianist/keyboardist George Duke, so it is fitting that Jarreau pays tribute to Duke, who passed away in 2013 ... My Old Friend: Celebrating George Duke is a heartfelt tribute album that, as with many of Jarreau and Duke's previous albums, feels fresh, warm, and full of love".
