Of the available solo albums, by far the best… a gloriously joyous set full of romping vamps, gentle ballad interludes and Hill's characteristic harmonic ambiguities. The whole album has the sound of a man who is enjoying his music and who is no longer troubled by the idea of experimentation.
---The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD - Eighth Edition
Although Andrew Hill in this solo recital does wonders with the standards "Darn That Dream" and "Afternoon in Paris" and contributes two other superior originals, it is his breakdown of his striding "Verona Rag" that is most fascinating, transforming the piece from a spiritual-type rag into a very advanced improvisation. Hill, a true individualist, embodies the best in creative jazz. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |
