    The band make each piece their own on this, their most satisfying set for years. [Dec 2008, p.102]
  2. This is one of the most compelling releases yet by one of the new jazz's finest bands to emerge in the 21st century.
  3. For All I Care, the trio's first all-covers album, underscores their capacity for democratizing yet again, but the fitful ease of amalgamating Ligeti's stark neoclassicism ('Fem (Etude No. 8)') with Heart's goofy lilt ('Barracuda') sounds too harmless, with or without a powerful singer. [Winter 2009]
