Reception

The All About Jazz review by Jack Bowers awarded the album 4 stars and simply states: "On Prague After Dark, their debut recording as a unit, these seasoned pros prove time and again that there's precious little they don't know about making lovely music together, especially when it comes to snug teamwork and swinging. Let us hope the trio remains intact and produces more recordings as bright and admirable as Prague After Dark." The All About Jazz review by C.

The World Music Report review by Paul J. Youngman simply states: "All beautiful and thoughtfully played compositions filled with passion and simpatico that reaches out to my ear and makes this one of this year’s favourites."
