Guitarist Henry Johnson has a highly appealing Wes Montgomery-inspired sound and a likable vocal style. In general, the music on his second release (other than "A Child Is Born" and "When Did You Leave Heaven") is not worthy of him, consisting of somewhat lightweight grooves. Backed by an electronic rhythm section and assisted by James Perkins' tenor, Johnson does his best, but he would sound much more rewarding in a more freewheeling setting.~Scott Yanow
