Critical Jazz
There are virtually too many literal high notes to this recording to list them all. Arturo Sandoval is still a searching artist. There are some trumpet players that claim they blow more horn than anyone. Arturo Sandoval much like Dizzy Gillespie never felt the need to take out ad space, their talent was their validation […]

Something Else! Reviews
Yet, the album, for all of the chances it doesn’t take, still has a memorable emotional resonance. What Sandoval doesn’t portray here in musical vision, he more than makes up for in zesty ebullience. That, as much as anything, recalls Gillespie — since there are few, if any, who can echo that bullfrog-cheeked sense of scintillating fire and seam-bursting joy like his former protege […]

ukvibe
Tight arrangements and warm sound characterise the elegant big band be-bop sound with Afro-Cuban elements never far from the surface and actor/musician Andy Garcia performing competently on bongos. Nothing revolutionary in the music on offer here, but very tastefully put together and excellent musicianship all round. […]
