A review on Drummer Cafe states, "I found Drummer Boy to be unique and very refreshing in that there was a pleasant blend of styles, improvisation and production quality. The musicians were able to express themselves within the jazz art-form in such a way that makes the music accessible to all audiences in a variety of listening settings. Drummer Boy is sure to be a nice addition to anyone's Christmas music collection."
