“Every new album by Mike Longo pushes the envelope of jazz piano playing a little further. Remember the excitement of the Fifties and Sixties when new piano albums came out by Oscar Peterson and Bill Evans, and then by Dave Brubeck and Ramsey Lewis. The jazz world could not wait to hear what these masters would do next. That is the way I feel about new Mike Longo recordings.”…Shots In The Dark/Shotgun Reviews
.“This trio swings like the Flying Wallenda's and then some. From bop to ballads it gets no better. 5 Stars”.…John Gilbert- E-Jazz News
“pure energy, flawless execution from each/every player. I'm not "just impressed." I'm floored by how spontaneous the flow is here, and give this CD a MOST HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, as well as an "EQ" (energy quotient) rating of 4.8. It also gets the "PICK" of this issue for "best jazz trio"!… Doctor Jazz/Improvisation Nation
