"What you will hear in this album is a solid hour of beautiful tuba sound, and if you wonder if these two words should be used together, then you should hear this album. Kyle Turner...never makes anything but a pure, warm, dignified sound. He has plenty of technique to handle these pieces...Hearing [Turner and Alan Baer] together is a treat".

" 'Elegance', 'suppleness' and 'grace' ...are all qualities [displayed] on this interesting disc by Kyle Turner...players and students of brass instruments [hear] a talented performer in action...I would recommend this disc to any musically curious listener as one that well repays the listening time...This well-recorded album provides a revealing insight into the possibilities of an instrument rarely heard solo. It shows a versatility going well beyond its typical role in the bass end of the brass section...I enjoyed Mr Turner's playing and hope to hear more from him."
