“Irwin is a lyrical alto saxophonist and a compelling original composer, as well as a canny bandleader."
- Steve Futterman, The New Yorker
His compositional style skillfully blends sophisticated harmonies and counterpoint with an engaging melodicism that sticks with the listener…”
- Bill Milkowski, Jazz Times
"Through their subtle application of leftfield approaches, they reveal the strain of Weird America running through the project."
- Stewart Smith, Wire
"Irwin and the guys achieve the perfect balance, making eery, Twilit music that lingers long in the mind. An understated little gem."
- Gary Booth, Jazz Journal
“Here’s something. No grand-standing; no God-bothering; no dour abstractions or bland parsing of the harmonic code; instead an album of the purest and most delightful melody. Irwin looks like he just won the science prize at high school, but he plays like a bruised angel…I earnestly suggest you track this one down. If it doesn’t delight and move you, you might find that you actually died in the night.”
- Jim Weir, Jazz Review Magazine
