Editorial Reviews
...what we have here is a literary and musical review of reviews....under Konig's expert direction, ultimately very entertaining....What keeps the whole project airborne...is Konig's music and the talented all-star cast of jazzmen who play it...
Option (09/01/1996)

...The premise is provocative, the music is frequently exciting and the text is at times side-splitting. Though it doesn't have the staying power of most of his earlier suites, REVIEWS is perhaps the most daring work to date.
JazzTimes (09/01/1996)

3.5 Stars - (out of 5) - ...REVIEWS is unique in the recorded jazz canon. That Konig undertook such a project is astonishing; that he pulls it off is hilarious....The orchestra responds with either exaggerated examples that confirm the critic's complaints or defiant riffs that contradict them...
