de Haas gets the whole disc off to a promising start with yet
another Langston Hughes lyric, 'Heaven.' His soaring performance sets
the bar early, and the rest of the record is just as heavenly. This album
is so good it's a miracle. The only problem with Bright Eyed Joy is that
it wasn't made a double CD, so that listeners could enjoy more of Gordon's
beautiful work."

"Outré
and zesty, like red-bean ice cream on a hot summer day. The disc's best
items- de Haas pouring out 'When Sue
Wears Red' or Blazer digging the lowdown 'I'm Open All Night.' "
