"A wealth of compelling jazz sounds from the luxuriant to the exhilarating." Trane of Thought - Zan Stewart, Los Angeles Times 3/27/1997

“This music is fresh and new and will withstand plenty of examination. It is constructed and played in a contemporary manner with constant reference to the jazz traditions of the more recent past. At a time when nine out of ten jazz releases sound interchangeable and offer little or nothing that the listener has not heard hundreds of times before this newly conceived music with strong traditional roots is highly recommended.” Derek Ansell, Jazz Journal International (U.K.) May 1996 Vol 49 No. 5

Greco is certainly a virtuoso that is not afraid to occasionally break the mold and he shows that his skills and interests make him perfectly suited for stretching the jazz fabric in all the right places. The group stays within the mainstream language enough for even the hardest boppers to follow, all the while mixing things up with modern rhythms and harmonic and melodic colors. The result is an album that blazes its own unique path, while still acknowledging the past and spotlighting music for a new generation.H. Allen Williams, JazzTimes 9/21/13

"Trane of Thought is highly original and thought-provoking; Greco switches between the various woodwind instruments with consummate ease and delivers nothing short of impeccable performances on each." Trane of Thought - W. Gillespie, euroclubdejazz.com‍ ‍October 2003

Chris Greco Quartet/Trane Of Thought: "One of those cats that’s been woodshedding long enough is now taking it to the streets in fine style. Paying tribute to Coltrane, but not doing a tribute album, this is a set of this sax player’s originals that’s as influenced by stargazing as it is by Coltrane. Tending toward the commercial side of free jazz, you can see hipsters letting this surge through their IPods proudly as too much dissonance would interfere with their caffeine buzz anyway. Tasty stuff for left leaning ears open to some new directions." Midwest Records Entertainment Reviews, News and Views, 3/23/2013.
