"McCarthy snags the spotlight for himself, delivering a sparkling album....that deserves a prominent place in the record stacks of local jazz aficionados"
                                                                                            -Dan Bolles, Seven Days

"...McCarthy’s selection of Burlington musicians for his quartet is as tasteful as his sax playing."
                                                                   -Brent Hallenbeck, Burlington Free Press

 “[McCarthy’s] alto has plenty of fire without surrendering its lighter touch.”
                                                                                                             - All About Jazz
