Professional Reviews

Entertainment Weekly (6/4/93, p.54) - "...his bluesy warm tribute to the late jazz-guitar icon Wes Montgomery is mostly right on the money..." - Rating: B-

Q (6/93, p.108) - 3 Stars - Good - "...For regular Ritenour fans, this session won't disappoint--in addition to his famously sleek chemistry of deft jazz and discretely injected soul-guitar, there are the tunes Montgomery made famous, like `West Coast Blues' and `Road Song'..."

Down Beat (6/93, p.37) - 3.5 Stars - Good Plus - "...Ritenour taps easily into the inherent suavity of Wesness, neatly stirring in understated riffs in lush, softly swinging arrangements...[he] generally does right by the spirit of his tributee, especially on the five Montgomery originals..."
