"Whatever your persuasions -- or ardent beliefs -- in modern jazz (or jazz fusion, or pop jazz, or straight-ahead, and so forth), when you hear Chuck Loeb performing "Water Runs Dry" on this recording, I hope you begin to realize that the one thing that matters is that one moment -- hearing a stunningly beautiful piece of music. Where does that soul come from? Can we deny it, much less belittle it? Here is where we begin to believe this is an artist worth listening to. Here is where we begin to believe that Chuck Loeb is not ignorant when he speaks of "The Moon, The Stars, And The Setting Sun." May we all be so lucky."

"I first heard the first track "Just Us" on the radio on became an instant fan. Whether fast or slow, every tune has a great groove and melodic flow. Check out the list of guest artist, Bob James, Nelson Rangell, John Patitucci, Will Lee, Andy Snitzer, David Samuels, etc... This one should be in your collection."

"Chuck Loeb has been around awhile and has produced many albums, whether it be his own, or adding his touch and assistance to fellow musician`s works. and he keeps turning them out, so someone out there is buying it. What impresses me is his song writing, especially on this cd. Oh did I mention his wife`s singing ? If she ever makes her own cd......well..I`m lost for words"

"As with his other solo efforts, Chuck Loeb presents totally refined, well-arranged and outstandingly performed smooth jazz. He's a bit of a chameleon on this CD, with one very Pat Metheny-esque number and one very Fourplay-like number. His outstanding skills as a producer are as much in evidence as his formidable guitar playing."
