    There are delicate nylon-strung acoustic guitar solos, punky and ecstatic Ornette Coleman covers, thrash metal improvisations for just guitar and drum, and intriguing battles with saxophonist Chris Potter. [Jul 2016, p.88]

    Ultimately, while Metheny is the undisputed leader here, it's the thoughtful interplay of all the Unity Group's members that makes these sessions so involving.

    There’s a generally exhilarating sense of freedom here, notably in improv exchanges between the players and with Metheny’s one-man-band Orchestrion machine, that testifies to how attuned constant gigging has made them.
