"Zuckerman never runs out of ways to grab us by our lapels... [He] writes a piece so compelling ... that I want to listen to it again and again."

― Steve Schwartz, ClassicalNet CD Review

 

"Intriguing music of deceptive simplicity ... subtle, persuasive and ― quite simply ― beautiful."

― Glyn Pursglove, MusicWeb

 

 

"Highly accessible ... listeners are carefully guided through some very enjoyable musical metaphors ... quite moving."

― Mike D. Brownell, allmusic

 

 

"Jazzy shimmer ... used ... eloquently."

― Allan Kozinn, NY Times
