Writing in The Boston Phoenix , jazz critic Bob Blumenthal opined that "He doesn't do anything astounding, such as provide a new direction on the trumpet, but, hey, Wynton Marsalis is only 20, and he has already made his mark. His debut album, Wynton Marsalis (Columbia), caps a groundswell that has been building for two years, an uncommon burst of word-of-mouth excitement within the jazz community. No one will be surprised if Marsalis is quickly acclaimed among the top players on his instrument." [5]
