** „Warm-hearted, collaborative, and discreet to the point of being almost ambient, Beautiful Dreamer manages to be the perfect companion-piece to the music of its subject.“ — MOJO // „Beautiful Dreamer is the perfect title for Watson’s book . . . like a Frisell tune, [it] takes its time, slowly revealing the inner workings of its subject matter.“ — Jazzwise
*** „While that approach seems a natural progression in Scofield’s evolution as an instrumentalist, composer, and recording artist, the ease with which the man plays never subsides. John doesn’t reach for his music any longer but instead lets it come to him, so the deceptively casual air that informs tracks like “Honest I Do,” mirroring the inviting tranquility of the album cover graphics, is exactly the quality that renders this record so accessible.“ (glide magazine)
