Down Beat (p.65) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "Roditi's crisp, energetic delivery conveys gem-hard notes with tremendous sensitivity..." JazzTimes (p.79) - "On Miles' 'Tune Up' and Raul de Souza's 'A Vontade Mesmo,' Roditi's trumpet and flugelhorn, sensual and steamy, move beyond the merely proficient." Billboard (p.33) - "'Song for Nana' is a lazy samba, illuminated by the glow of his warm horn sound. The disc closes with 'Gemini Man,' an uptempo Roditi original recorded live."
