    It's not the challenging listening experience that such recent albums as "Orchestrion" (2010) and "The Way Up" (2005) provided, but "What's It All About" is Metheny at his most genteel.

    For those with open minds and without unfair expectations of artists, it will be another fascinating addition to a long and exceptional career.

    Metheny returns with a beautifully understated acoustic album whose virtue is its bare-boned simplicity. [Sept. 2011, p. 98]

    It all sounds intensely personal and pleasingly remote. [Nov 2011, p.104]
