Chieli Minucci called Bill McGee after receiving his copy and said "I'm really honored to have you re-record My Girl Sunday. The production is great and you have great chops Bill. If we're gigging in the same area I'll definitely call you up on stage - Thanks"

Here's what Cedric James of KWJZ 98.9 Seattle has to say:
"Bill McGee's debut is an impressive coming out. The arrangements are clean and smooth. It's becomes apparent that Bill is no new comer to the business with regards to the performances on this disc. His version of the Minucci hit "My Girl Sunday" is excellent as is Nadia's Theme. The stand-out track is the title song, "This One's 4U". Congratulations Bill you're on your way sir!"

Bill McGee says "My favorite is San Diego Sunset, it takes me to another place in time. I also really like People Make The World Go 'Round. LaLa is a really hip song that I wrote for my mother and I feel that I solo my best on This One's 4U... I got into the groove and couldn't stop... Over The Rainbow and Jesus Loves Me is a spiritual favorite because both songs mean a lot to me. Over The Rainbow is my secular favorite song of all time and Jesus Loves me is the way I feel. Day-Oh is a favorite because of it's complex brass layers and the way James Gates plays on this song. My Girl Sunday gets great reviews from everybody I know and James Holden really plays on that song... Over all I think the album is well worth the money. I've compared my CD to my favorite CD's by other artist and it stands up well to them all, it's clean and the performances are great. If you like Smooth Jazz buy it, I think you'll like it. God Bless" - Bill McGee
