“Good fusion, light jazz, and instrumental pop/R&B session from a talented guitarist who’s made his living by carefully editing his solos and plugging into funk dates. Gale doesn’t cut loose, but shows enough to hold interest, while the arrangements and production are geared for Urban and Adult Contemporary outlets and audiences.” – Ron Wynn/AllMusic.
