All About Jazz
Of course, Mehldau burns aplenty elsewhere, with the kind of frightening two-hand technique that has distinguished him from so many others. His “Hey Joe” may be relatively faithful, as is “Got Me Wrong,” but the Alice in Chains hit provides a chance, in his impressive opening solo, for the pianist to set a very high bar for the rest of the set.

The Guardian
Hey Joe could have been shorterand the later tracks (with a growing Latin-jazz presence) have something of a business-as-usual feel. But the dynamics and empathy of this ensemble remain pretty irresistible. […]

BBC
This is a very swift follow-up to Ode, released only six months earlier. Pianist Mehldau must be making up for lost time, as the present trio has not been as prolifically documented as its previous line-up. […]
