Highly recommend!

It is a rare artist who is able to create songs that go
straight to the listener's emotional center. Michael Bluestein
has managed to accomplish this in an era when music seems to be
getting more and more cerebral. Don't get me wrong, this is an
incredibly sophisticated and intelligent album, but its
complexity serves to create an emotional experience that runs
deep. In particular, the title song, Reflections, evokes a
profound sense of loneliness and vulnerability through its
haunting instrumentals and lyrical truths. It is a song
that you will want to listen to over and over again.

Poignant and Inspiring

This CD is in my car disc player and gets played about 4x a week! I know all of the words and make my friends listen to it when they get in the car! It's really good. "Did I Really Know You" is perfect in relating the torture of a relationship that we've all had..."Hate To See You Go" is brilliant & funny...it made me laugh so hard, I had to replay it again and again. "Renee" will rip your heart out, so sad and so beautiful. Michael is a touching songwriter and an accomplished pianist, and the band is top-notch. Enjoy it...I do!

When i received the CD I listened to it a couple of times and enjoyed it.

Its not often you find a single CD that's great played loud or in the backgound.
