Music and recording
The album's 10 tracks featured a total of 18 musicians.[1] A variety of material is covered, including "On the balladic title track, he writes a supple arrangement for string quartet, and elsewhere leans toward Brazil (as on the engaging, rapid-fire "Choro Luoco", dedicated to Hermeto Pascoal) and other Latin elements (i.e., the catchy, sambaesque "Bariloche")."[2] Mal Waldron's "Soul Eyes" is played as a duet with pianist Brad Mehldau.[2]

The AllMusic reviewer commented that "Some of the cuts are less than memorable ("Isabella", "Misterioso"), and the stronger ones succeed more in terms of orchestration than melody."[1]
