“I don’t know if he’s a genius or a brilliant madman... (We Used to Cut the Grass #2) surprises, it disorients, as much as it captivates. Have we ever seen a band cover such a rich palette?” - Prog Critique, August 2025

“McCorry thrives on contrast... (We Used to Cut the Grass #2) is a kaleidoscopic statement that re-imagines what a jazz fusion record can encompass.” - All About Jazz, November 2025
