| DownBeat |   [2] |
| The Times | [1] |
The reviewer for The Times concluded that "The results are, as you may expect, quite special."[1] The DownBeat reviewer wrote: "Bernstein is a guitarist so good he often sounds like two guitarists in a duet. It reflects a mastery that is elegant, mellow and gently swinging, but not especially surprising."[2]
