And as compared to earlier solo work, this Columbia recording sounds a bit frail. Kind of skeletal. Just as cerebral as in San Francisco and T himself, but less….virile? Maybe, but no less independent, thoughtful, or mercurial. […]

Wondering Sound
He was also paying more conscious attention to his technique, although some people argue that his seemingly clumsy attack on earlier recordings was actually intentional, part of the search. […]

PopMatters
He couldn’t do everythingand Dizzy Gillespie’s ideal was to have enough money to employ both Monk and a conventionally competent pianist with his early big band. […]
