    Younge and Muhammad give Ayers a crisp edge that achieves the unlikely feat of dragging jazz-funk into the modern world. [Sep 2020, p.107]

    The result is a rhapsodic work. [Sep 2020, p.89]

    Much of what precedes and follows it is up to the same fine standard, predominantly mellow if hot-blooded with Tribe label titans Phil Ranelin and Wendell Harrison adding some intensity with spirited blowing.

    This is an all-American band, but there are nods to the rhythmic sophistication coming out of London's jazz scene. [Sep 2020, p.34]

    The album feels too short to be a definitive statement. [Jul 2020, p.75]

    Though Younge and Shaheed Muhammad may enjoy casting themselves as career revivalists, Roy Ayers JID 002, as pleasant and groovy as it is, never quite feels like a true Roy Ayers work.
