(Nine Stars) "...rhumba taken to it's cutting edge with fiery, inspired jamming.  Although the rhythmic core is Cuban, vast influences appear in these astonishing rhythmic flights. ... Horacio Hernandez and Robby Ameen's grooves and interplay with the percussionists are downright jaw-dropping. .For drummers, it's a must.  Deep indeed." - Jeff Potter, Modern Drummer

"One of the ten best albums of 1998" - Jon Pareles, New York Times
