Reception

[edit]

Allmusic reviewed the album stating "His Underground Memoirs are recommended for restful contemplation, intimate dining, and relaxed conversation among friends".[2] All About Jazz observed "Underground Memoirs offers an opportunity to hear him in that most exposed of contexts. The result is just under an hour's worth of nuanced reinvention and reverent reimagining".[3]
