Reception

Peter Marsh of BBC stated "Surrounding herself with a cast of young, gifted musicians (and a slightly older one in the shape of the great bassist Anthony Jackson), 24 year old Hiromi Uehara's music is audacious, hyperactive stuff. Sticking mainly to acoustic piano, her approach is reminiscent of Oscar Peterson on steroids. Few of the instrument's 88 keys remain untouched for long."{{cite web |last1=Marsh |first1=Peter |title=BBC - Music - Review of Hiromi - Another Mind |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/9m4h/ |website=www.bbc.co.uk |publisher=BBC |accessdate=13 August 2019 |date=2003}} Robert L. Calder of PopMatters stated "The name that comes to mind is tsunami, or some other earthquake and volcano jargon term. Quite simply, I've heard no more powerful jazz pianist than Hiromi Uehara. Current competition includes the Russian Simon Nabatov (the Slavonic Jaki Byard) as well as Brad Mehldau (I've not heard of Bobby Enriquez in some time, but her fingers punch as hard as his fists and elbows)."{{cite web |last1=Calder |first1=Robert L. |title=Hiromi: Another Mind |url=https://www.popmatters.com/hiromi-another-2495936260.html |website=PopMatters |accessdate=13 August 2019 |language=en |date=7 April 2003}} Phil Dipietro of All About Jazz wrote "Yes, Hiromi's music is full of emotion, drawing freely and effortlessly from the panorama of influences, most of them adventurous in aspect and application. But please, let's not downplay Ms. Uehara's abilities as a pure technician!"{{cite web |last1=Jazz |first1=All About |title=Hiromi: Another Mind |url=https://www.allaboutjazz.com/another-mind-hiromi-telarc-records-review-by-phil-dipietro.php |website=All About Jazz |accessdate=13 August 2019 |language=en |date=3 April 2003}}
