AllMusic[2]

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "Trumpeter Wallace Roney avoids the standard repertoire altogether on this CD, ... but, try as hard as he may, he still sounds like Miles Davis every time he hits a long tone or plays a doubletime passage. Backed by a small orchestra that mostly interprets Gil Goldstein arrangements, Roney is the main soloist throughout this interesting ballad-dominated set".[2]

In The Washington Post Geoffrey Himes wrote "Not only was this recording supervised by Davis's old producer, Teo Macero, but it features Evans-like orchestral arrangements by Gil Goldstein, who had transcribed and adapted Evans's charts for Miles Davis & Quincy Jones Live at Montreux ... Because Roney emphasizes feeling over technique, Misterios has the chance to connect with a non-jazz audience as few acoustic jazz albums have since Davis's heyday".[3]

In JazzTimes David R. Adler noted "Misterios, his debut for the label, is in many respects a marvelous piece of work—with jazz ensemble and strings interpreting works by Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius, Egberto Gismonti and, bizarrely enough, Dolly Parton. The label wanted a cover of a Grammy-winning song, and Roney averted a potential disaster, turning “I Will Always Love You,” the Parton-penned Whitney Houston hit, into a thing of enigmatic beauty, an unabashed valentine to his departed friend and mentor, Miles Davis".[4]

Personnel
gollark: > yes, but sql queries are very fast and well-optimised for that reasonIt's quite easy to foolishly run them sequentially, and then you have to deal with a ton of latency from connecting to your database.
gollark: Although what you can do nowadays is package it as a webview thing (not electron, there are saner things to use the system webview like this: https://crates.io/crates/web_view) and have a bit of native code for the out-of-sandbox parts. Although you drop some nice things that way.
gollark: Also, the sandboxing *can* make it not work for some applications.
gollark: There are obviously problems like compatibility across browsers, having to write typically nonzero amounts of JS, and some amount of weirdness.
gollark: You can load and run your applications on basically any modern platform with no install step, they can easily connect to your backend, webapps are well-sandboxed, it has *very* nice rendering/UI capabilities, and you can run code in basically whatever language you want via WASM (although it may be slow).
