"Ear Worms is another installment in this musicologist's catalog… This is so different, with Robillard's deft feel and creative touches, encompassing an era when music was much simpler, that it stands apart from anything in Duke's catalog. Surprisingly, it's one of his best recordings." Glide Magazine by Jin Hynes
