Down Beat[2]

The Down Beat review byPeter Margasak states "Iyer connects with the group in a substantive way; there’s nothing tentative or overly polite, even when they tackle Curtis Clark's soulful 'Chiara', a luminescent ballad stripped of any hollow sentiment."[2]

The All About Jazz review John Sharpe notes "Iyer becomes an integral part of the outfit, whether stretching out simultaneously with the saxophonist, or comping energetically behind him."[3]
