The Penguin Guide to Jazz[2]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz states "Again, just four large slabs of music, uncompromisingly played and with that deceptively linear approach which suggests that harmonic depth isn't the first thing that excites the guitarist."[2]

In an article for the Chicago Tribune, Howard Reich states "Whether improvising freely above a straight swing backbeat by bassist Timo Shanko and drummer Luther Gray or creating openly lyric melody lines in unaccompanied statements, Morris takes pains to give listeners entree into an otherwise rarefied but daringly innovative musical language."[3]
