"... represents a return to respectability for Hancock ... by far the best thing he's done since joining Verve in 1995 ... the breadth and depth of Hancock's artistry throughout this magnificent collection is absolutely stunning ... he has crafted one for the ages."
- JazzTimes.com
"... Hancock’s striking tribute runs deeper and wider than most, clearly revealing Gershwin’s cross-stylistic imprint, from jazz to pop to classical ... in the end, the real stars are Hancock the great American keyboardist and the great American songwriter he’s toasting. A-."
- Entertainment Weekly
"What makes this recording worth the purchase is Joni Mitchell. She is a fine, fine jazz singer. Mitchell's The Man I Love and Summertime couple her superbly with Wayne Shorter, who plays some of the most pragmatic soprano saxophone around. Stevie Wonder adds his distinctive harmonica on this tune as well as his vocals and harmonica on a funky, serpentine reading of St. Louis Blues."
- All About Jazz
Conceived to celebrate the 100th birthday of George Gershwin, Herbie Hancock recruited guests including Joni Mitchell, Stevie Wonder and Chick Corea to cover the Gershwin brothers' best loved songs (as well as songs by other composers of the same era) on this 1998 release.
