  1. Dusted Magazine
    90
    Sometimes it seems almost sleight-of-hand that any music could have so much going on and yet be so spacious.
  2. PopMatters
    90
    Simultaneously adventurous, beautiful, and full of depth.
  3. All Music Guide
    90
    This is a remarkable album; it sets a new water mark for Frisell's sense of adventure and taste, and displays his perception of beauty in a pronounced, uncompromising, yet wholly accessible way.
