"The writing and playing exude a confidence that guarantees he can execute any lick he writes or hears-and it will swing. Rosenthal's poise rubs off on his four colleagues: Dick Oatts, alto and soprano sax; Brian Lynch, trumpet; Johannes Weidenmueller, bass; John Riley, drums. "True Blue" boasts an expanded trill figure that descends like water swirling down a sink with superb laid-back control. Rosenthal's title tune is a contemplative melody for piano and soprano sax, heightened by Rosenthal's obbligato weaving throughout Oatts' pensive statement. "Bar Hopping" begins like a film running fast-forward until it finds a comfortable, way-up groove. The whole album is like this: high-powered soloing, excellent charts. There's even room for humor: the spirals of "True Blue" are reprised and "Monk's Dream" is envisioned in 7/8-even the stride coda." --Harvey Siders, Jazz Times, Feb. 2004
