"I haven't received this CD yet, but I have the paper-thin albums of these renditions. I have been a Charlie Byrd fan for many years, and will continue to be.If you love latin rhythms, if you love the sound of a sweet and mellow guitar, you are in for a treat. Every song is a thing of beauty before Charlie finishes it. If you are already a fan, this is a wonderful way to preserve those beautiful songs, and his beautiful renditions. I am so glad I can revisit my favorite guitarist!"
Wonderful! Buenísimo! Formidável!

"Como brasileiro, não posso deixar de elogiar este album do Charlie Byrd. É simplesmente maravilhoso, perfeito, um verdadeiro primor. Recomendo a todos. Não se arrependerão, asseguro."
Not sufficiently purist...

"I love most Charlie Byrd album, but this one isn't one of my favorites. The saxophone is intrusive (unlike Byrd's collaboration with Scott Hamilton) and detracts from Byrd's virtuoso guitar playing."
Best Bossa Nova out there

"This is BY FAR the best bossa album I own and I own a lot of 'em. Just wonderful wonderful wonderful listening... There's no one I know to whom I wouldn't recommend. Parents in their 80s or kids in their teens. This is what music is all about. Own a copy. Or two."
