"[Garcia's] long-awaited solo debut feels like a significant moment: a fitting showcase for this most elegant and composed of team players. 'Source' doesn't limit itself to jazz - check the dub reverberations which echo through the superb title track - but it doesn't feel faddish, or neurotic in trying to cross over, either. So "Boundless Beings", featuring Chicagoan singer Akenya, bends Badu-ish nu-soul into Garcia's aesthetic, rather than compromising it, and "La Cumbia Me Está Llamando" artfully integrates Afro-Colombian rhythms and chants. While her own solos have a fluent grandeur, Garcia remains as generous a leader as she was a collaborator: keyboardist Joe Armon-Jones, for one, cuts loose in a way he rarely does on his own releases".
