Joni Mitchell tribute May 10, 2007
The best tunes, which are quite good, are the lightly-grooving "The Music Outside," likely a reference to his 1996 hit "The Music Inside"; the homey "Hangin' With You," Andy Snitzer helping out on alto saxophone; and "Mr. Martino," a tribute to fellow guitarist Pat Martino and on which Loeb turns up the intensity toward the end. On the other hand, I didn't care much for the stately, country-meets-classical title track or the dramatic, string-laced "The Western Sky.". (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, PA)

But hidden among them is perhaps the biggest and most welcome surprise of them all - guitarist Pat Martino's terrific first record from 1967. (Buffalo News -- Entertainment)
