    "What Ellington and Mahalia have done is created a gentle, reverent, powerful prayer. There is nothing else I can write to describe or interpret this album. I was moved by it through more than six playings. I think it's the best work Duke's band has done in years. I think, too, that Mahalia's presence was a stimulus to the performance which makes this more than another Ellington LP, but rather an Ellington milestone." Dom Cerulli
