"Frisell's top-shelf quartet seamlessly balances improvisational acumen with a profound sense of melodic invention…  Much of the new music was composed in notebook fragments during the pandemic; the album is his meditation on loss, renewal, and friendship.  Frisell left his pieces unfinished and presented them that way with precious little additional information to encourage spontaneous response and interplay from the group… Frisell left his pieces unfinished and presented them that way with precious little additional information to encourage spontaneous response and interplay from the group…Despite Four's gentility and lyricism, it is a striking, intimate, and abundantly creative exercise in modern jazz interaction and improvisation." - All Music
