Jim Hall's ArtistShare release Magic Meeting AS0002, received 4 stars from the DownBeat critics in the May 2005 issue.

"...he seems to have his hands on every element he needs to woo us: nuanced counterpoint, sage comping, terrific support...and delicate abstraction."

"The clarity of the sound on this live date enhances the intimacy that's been part of Hall's esthetic since he recorded "Deep In A Dream" a half century ago. The more you spin it, the more you realize it's one of his high watermarks."
