(137) Gina McIntyre, The Los Angeles Times -- April 2008

""Early Reflections" slides easily from Latin to ballad to blues,
revisiting 1974's electronically adventurous "The Jewel in the Lotus"
along the way. While playing in Poland, Maupin was knocked out by some
local musicians... and conscripted them for the sessions."
