"Barnes retains the character of each tune in his improvisation, and the whole album serves the art of melodic exposition and jazz extemparization with integrity."
Owen Cordle, May 99 Jazz Times

"It's great to hear Bootsie in such fine form - sometimes velvety, sometimes smokin', always swinging!"
