Reception

The Allmusic review states "This is a tough, streetwise, commercial jazz album that has plenty to offer to anyone with an open mind. In the pocket, groove-soaked, and flawlessly executed".Jurek, T. [http://www.allmusic.com/album/macho-r148451/review Allmusic Review] accessed February 21, 2012
