The Penguin Guide to Jazz[3]

AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars and in its review by Joel Roberts, states "It takes a certain nerve for a young jazz artist to subtitle an album Live at the Village Vanguard. The title evokes some mighty powerful spirits from the jazz pantheon. John Coltrane, Sonny Rollins. Bill Evans. Joe Henderson. But pianist Brad Mehldau is more than up to this daunting challenge... he has made a stunning album of exploratory jazz that holds its own with the great "Live at the Village Vanguard" recordings of the past".[1]
