The Doky Brothers, Vol. 2 pales slightly in comparison to the duo's first release, but the album remains a fine example of contemporary mainstream jazz due to the exceptional playing of pianist Niels Lan Doky and bassist Chris Minh Doky. The pop numbers are occasionally a little sappy or silly, but the originals are melodic and memorable, providing the duo an excellent framework for their exciting solos.
