From All About Jazz:
"By turns joyous and autumnal, pensive and funked up, lyrical and beat-driven, on the page and off it, all sometimes within the course of the same tune, Ettinger''s music blends precisely arranged through-composition with unfettered collective improvisation. It''s utterly distinctive stuff, and amongst its chief joys is the remarkable symbiosis between Ettinger and Malaby, whose close sonic fit and dual-drive improvised lines are the disc''s dominant presence. Amendola''s subtly groovalicious drums are another source of delight.
Most of the tracks (there are nine, averaging about six minutes each) are composed of mini-movements: the eight-minute title track, for instance, moves through five distinct sections, from tender to tribal...
An auspicious release and a new benchmark for creative jazz violin."

From All Music Guide:
"****"
"John Ettinger, a versatile violinist based in the San Francisco Bay area, has in the past played with rock and avant-garde groups so he has a very open style. On Kissinger In Space, he mixes together lyrical melodies with free playing while emphasizing catchy yet unpredictable rhythms, close interplay with tenor-saxophonist Tony Malaby, group improvising and quirky themes that take their time to develop. Unfortunately there are no liner notes to explain the meaning of the intriguing title cut or of the other selections but the music is fairly accessible and concise if full of constant surprises. It takes a few listens to fully appreciate this diverse and colorful music for it follows its own intriguing logic. Recommended."
