"I bought this by digital download from Nonesuch Records at 3 o'clock this morning, and then spent the rest of the night rapt. You will probably only pick this up if you're a Metheny fan to start off with, but let me tell you, it's the finest work I think he's done since 'Secret Story', I am unashamedly biased where Pat's concerned. I have every official, PM & PMG release, plus a goodly proportion of his sideman sessions, this however takes the game up to a whole new level. If you don't laugh out loud at the sheer brilliance of these tunes, you have no soul.....  Favourite part, so far, the beginning to 'Rise Up', truly outrageous playing. Pat's solos are still unpredictable but always within the boundaries of his music, no free atonal squealing here. Altogether, only an artist with the years and the mileage of Pat Metheny could have have brought together such a feast for the ears, and he seems to be getting better and better. Thanks Pat and your merry band, you've made my year, already." —Amazon.com
