Financial Times reviewer, Mike Hobart, stated "Roney's beautifully rounded tone and clear sense of purpose is matched by the impressively muscular playing of young saxophonist Ben Solomon; veteran alto saxophonist Gary Bartz beefs up the brass". [2] In JazzTimes, Philip Booth noted "A Place in Time, suggests that the group's penchant for fruitful compositions, dynamic interplay and bracing solos remains intact. More than half of the set is devoted to originals ... Here's hoping it won't take another 15 years for a sequel". [3]
