"Having played with legendary ECM artists in the past, including most notably Lee Konitz and Paul Motian, Lovano's work with Trio Tapestry feels like a continuation of that style of progressive, classical-influenced jazz and fittingly brings to mind the sound of ECM albums of the '70s and '80s ... Always at the center of the trio, however, is Lovano, whose warm, vocal-like tones and painterly phrases give the album the focused reverence and elevated emotionality of a church service".
