"...Constellations And Hemispheres reintroduces a sense of active adventure to Smith's work." --DownBeat (lead review)
"Among those works that stress his compositional side, this recording is highly recommended..." --Jazz Journal
"...feels like a unified experiment--mostly stripped down of gloss but still with haunting and transcendent moments to reflect upon." --JazzTrail
"...as easy to lose one's bearings in as it is easy to enjoy -- to listen to for the simple purpose of musical pleasure." --Spinal Tapdance
"...less interested in giving us conclusions than in creating the conditions under which we might arrive at our own." --Paris-Move
