"Handwritten Notes: Fifty-six minutes of original instrumental guitar from a very creative composer. Blending and bending textures and influences, Reed offers thoughtful and thought-provoking musical musical vignettes that offer more with each listening. Tempo and tone range from reflective to funky as Reed challenges himself and the listener by telling stories without words."

-- Dirty Linen, June/July 2001
