Overall, Mobley's work is highly impressive and intriguing here. New listeners will probably be encouraged to check out Mobley's other efforts. Here's an exciting trumpeter blipping and bebopping his way smack onto jazz radar screens. It's certainly about time—and talent. Four and half stars. - Nicholas F. Modello, All About Jazz
