"Throughout the decade of the 2000s, the Claudia Quintet recorded, toured, and became one of the top five progressive jazz units in the U.S. and the world. For 2010 they continue with Royal Toast [Cuneiform Records], implying elegance and a golden brown, perfectly prepared, even buttery music. ... It's another extraordinary musical experience from the Claudia Quintet, who deserve all the high marks they receive as an innovative, thought-provoking, singularly unique contemporary ensemble." – All Music Guide

"...one of the most characterful small jazz groups of recent times." – The Guardian
