On this self-titled release, young vibist Warren Wolf showcases all these qualities and more.” -Elliott Simon, Jazz Record

“To say that Warren Wolf’s Mack Avenue debut is auspicious would be an understatement. No doubt, this is one of the best of the year in jazz.” –Greg Thomas, NY Daily News

“The young vibraphonist Warren Wolf, from , plays music that doesn’t argue with the most popular and usable parts of jazz’s past. It doesn’t hesitate or erase its own tracks. It uses swing, blues, virtuosity, cuteness, directness and seldom wanders from a sense of tune.” –Ben Ratliff, New York Times

“Warren Wolf: one of the most influential young vibraphonists playing anywhere.” - Danny Johnson, San Diego County News

“Wolf, a technical wunderkind, turns ‘Senor Mouse,’ a duet for Chick Corea and vibraphonist Gary Burton, into a shimmering solo vehicle.” – Karl Stark, Philadelphia Inquirer “Warren Wolf uses his sharp take on the vibraphone to reinterpret bebop in the present. I’m not sure where this album will take him, but it should be quite far.” – Paul Pennington, The Revivalist
