“The fact that they still find something new is a tribute not just to these two masters; it is a reminder that wellspring of standards will never run dry”
- Robert Doerschuk, DownBeat Magazine.

“The two principals of The James Woody and Hank Jones Quartet first recorded together in September 1946, when both were members of the Ray Brown All-Stars. Our Delight is their latest meeting, a mere 62 years later, and it really is the listener's delight.”
- The IAJRC Journal.

“You'll have no issues adding this fine and historic recording to your modern straight-ahead jazz collection”.
- AllAboutJazz

“Consider for a moment that Moody is 83 and Jones is 90, but is makes not a whit of difference. These guys were “in the day”. They helped define the music back in the ‘40s, and here's the proof that their chops are every bit as good as ever before.”
- George Fendel, Jazzscene.
