"The salient part of my reaction is that you honored Michael, but ran it through your heart and thereby gave the piece (Magic Farmer) a new life. That’s hard to do with an artist as distinctive and unique as Michael (Hedges) was. I fell in love with this version early on".
- Will Ackerman

"This is a brilliant album. There is no mistaking the artistry involved in making these wonderful tunes. From the opening Brecker-like squeals on Lobo--each contributing artist is right where he needs to be on this beautiful beautiful effort. Why don't we know more about Don Kimenker?"
"Kimenker is after our hearts and minds -- and to my ears this album has done it. Pick any tune, any tune, and listen-- carefully-- but LISTEN"
