"Charles McPherson is a consumate artist and this album provides the listener the opportunity to sample his flawless technique and superb improvisational skills. "The Thrill is Gone", with its upbeat interpretation and precussion, takes on a renewed vibrancy and sets a mood that is sustained throughout the disc. Charles McPherson has absorbed much in his varied career and distilled it and made it his own, combining lyricism with a mixture of straight ahead styling grounded in blues and bop that remains powerful and free from cliches."
