Reception
DownBeat reviewer Art Lange wrote, "Musics is a solid, satisfying tour through Dewey Redman's musical landscape—aided masterfully by Simmons' tasteful piano arabesques, bassist Helias' heroic solidity and tone, and Moore's unobtrusive, propulsive drumming—and well worth the trip".
AllMusic reviewer Scott Yanow stated: "This is one of tenor-saxophonist Dewey Redman's more accessible sessions... The music is excellent although not as explorative as most of Redman's other recordings".Yanow, S. AllMusic Review accessed April 15, 2011
