This is the most focused, consistent, and guitar-centric album of Summers' entire solo discography.
There's no flash or pizazz here - just classy, elegant electric guitar music,
with hints of jazz, blues, and funk. There isn't one lackluster tune on the CD.
It is flawless from beginning to end.

Summers' spot-on backing band includes Tony Levin on bass,
Mitchell Forman on keyboards, and Chad Wackerman on drums,
with guest performances by Eliane Elias on piano, Victor Bailey on bass,
Nana Vasconcelos and Manola Badrena on percussion,
producer Mike Manieri on marimba, and Bendik on soprano saxophone.

Andy Summers has a varied body of work, all of which is enjoyable,
some more than others. I consider this to be among his most timeless and universal.
Of his albums with a backing band, it's my favorite.
