"Recorded live before an audience at Capitol Studios in Los Angeles, Covered is driven entirely by piano, percussion, and bass. It's a no-frills record that recedes into the background without much fuss, which works for and against the album's overall impact. While Covered is technically jazz, the trio drifts into R&B while keeping a deliberate pace. This is light fare and, at times, it's easy to forget Covered is playing, which feels strange for a Glasper project".
