Like many of Davis’ fusion efforts, Überjam has no problem being cerebral and funky at the same time. The material tends to be abstract and intellectual, but not at the expense of grit. Überjam is yet another excellent album from an improviser who refuses to be predictable. […]

BBC
…Scofield is back where he is happiest …Based solely on visual evidence, one could easily think that Scofield had lost it on this album… Nevertheless, this is a very enjoyable and commercially astute album (don’t be deterred by the look of it). Recommended. […]

There is so much information in his improvisation that its hard to keep up and we definately recommend to have several hits at the record so that the brain can diguest the many guitar treats served. […]
