"Less a true rebirth than a return to the stylistic suggestions that surrounded Warren Wolf's ears in the 1990s, Reincarnation finds the forty-year-old vibraphonist folding his serious jazz persona within settings that lean heavily on soul and R&B. Embracing the grooves, glazes and hooks endemic to those realms, Wolf delivers music that's both slick and smile-inducing".

"What Reincarnation delivers (...) is an accomplished jazz album with just enough melody, groove and prominent funk bass courtesy of Richie Goods to suggest the flavor of r&b, circa 1990 ... It's tempting to compare the vocal tracks to pop songs. And without question, "For The Love Of You" channels the vibe of, say, classic Toni Braxton. Then, two-thirds of the way through, it reboots as a funk jam with Imani-Grace Cooper wordlessly improvising. Every time the music seems ready to retreat without any derring-do, that's when Wolf and company provide it".
