“A strong, diverse recording, saxophonist Bobby Selvaggio’s Stories, Dreams, Inspirations: For My Boy bursts with melodies and love. (4 ⭐️)”

— Carlo Wolff | Downbeat Magazine

“The discipline the ensemble displays allows for this freedom... with popping beats driving Selvaggio’s wheel within a wheel composition which allow solos to spin off while riding the gyroscope of sound. (4/5 ⭐️)”

— Mark Corroto | All About Jazz

“Eleven radiant, fantastic artists who delicately wield an extreme intelligence, offering sumptuous settings for the soloists, make this album somewhat akin to a work of art. (Rating: Indispensable)”

— Thierry De Clemensat | Paris-Move and ABS Magazine
