"With Valentine, Frisell, Royston and Morgan revel in the tight but loose interplay that is a hallmark of the best groups, plying a course as deeply lyrical as it is adventurous. Feels like the beginning of a great adventure".

"Nye kompositioner bindes sammen med numre fra tidligere Bill Frisell-albummer ... Han har i over tre årtier fortalt amerikanske historier med sin guitar, så de ligner scener fra en film ... 'Valentine' er endnu et fornemt - og tidløst - vidnesbyrd - fra en af jazzens store guitarister og historiefortællere".

"Even though the selections on Valentine hail from a range of styles - Afropop, country-western, Brill Building pop, atmospheric electronica - the performances represent jazzplaying at its most sublime. And music seldom gets more "together" than that".
