"What is so marvellous about this set is the way that this expectation is entirely fulfilled - Stern plays a variety of styles, showing complete mastery of each. What is even more exciting is that his playing sounds absolutely in keeping with the rest of the band. Here is a group of like-minded players having a whale of a time and giving us the opportunity to experience first-rate fusion as it should be played".

"Fusion isn't dead, it's just not at the center of the jazz world. Europe and Scandinavia still are welcome stomping grounds for contemporary variations on the theme, and this fine example, a match-up of Norwegian keyboardist Jan Gunnar Hoff's taut band, and veteran fusioneer and guitarist Mike Stern, illustrates the continuing artistic validity of the genre ... Be careful what music's deemed anachronistic. Hoff's album, with Stern's formidable help, organically crosses over eras and transatlantic aesthetics, bridging a division in fusion".
