Financial Times reviewer, Mike Hobart, stated "Roney is a forceful and atmospheric trumpeter, stretching out in sympathetic company, his rounded tone perfectly captured by this live club recording".Hobart, MFinancial Times Review May 1, 2010, accessed April 28, 2020 In The Guardian, John Fordham noted "Plenty of trumpeters play Miles's notes, and get close to his sound – bu ...
