from Just Jazz Guitar

With precious little overdubbing, Doug's slightly distorted guitar twists and winds its way through the predominatly self-written set, at times reminding you of his neighbors' Scofield and Frissel or sometimes Kessel or Hendrix. ...some knockout guitar playing.

from Alternate Music Press

Munro personifies competence; he's an excellent technician, knowlegeable and versatile; he's one of the most original guitarists to emerge in the past 25 years. His improvisation is economical and earthy. This is a gloriously life-affirming band., balancing individual freedom with cooperative playing in some of the most riveting new music I've heard in quite a while. – Ben Kettlewell

from Jazz Times

…complelling jazz that never irritates, bores or grates on one’s ears. The group is together and tight, with Munro’s playing a perfect match with Jerry Z’s; the two work as well together as coffee and cream, with plenty of sky high playing and improvisation. -David Zych

from 2oth Century Guitar Magazine

If you’ve dug the recent R&B based projects from John Scofield’s band, I think you’ll dig Doug’s groove. Personally, Munro’s my first pick! - Jim Fisch
