“Liberally coated in chill-out and even folky atmospheres City is a record that also has a strong vocals input. But there’s also organic acoustic guitar currents flowing in like a hidden river under some concreted-over flyover” - Marlbank

"deserves to be widely heard and appreciated" - All About Jazz

"The stuff of trippy dreams" - London Evening Standard

“Some music is at its best after dark; after all, night is the time for introspection, and this, guitarist Stuart McCallum’s second album for Naim Jazz, is a case in point: we’re truly talking about 3.00am levels of introspection.” - London Jazz
