The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide	[5]

The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide commented: "How Deep, How High reunites Marsh with another Tristano student, pianist Sal Mosca, for a re-examination of academic roots. The dedication to a fluid, melodic concept remains intact, but gone is the strict adherence to a lightly colored tone". ^[5] The AllMusic review states: "The music ranges from introspective to more driving, but it swings throughout, and Marsh's solos are always intriguing". ^[4]
