  1. Simultaneously adventurous, beautiful, and full of depth.
  2. 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.
  3. Sometimes it seems almost sleight-of-hand that any music could have so much going on and yet be so spacious.

    The result is laidback and chilled. [Apr 2003, p.104]
