RIVERVIEW REVIEW IN JAZZTIMES, JAZZWISE
Riverview was reviewed by Bill Milkowski in the May issue of JazzTimes magazine where he desribed the music as "thoughtful, harmonically intriguing tunes executed by a fine quartet ... Flaunting a burly tone and a depth of feeling in his lines, Patneaude reflects the influence of Michael Brecker in both his playing and composing." Click here for the full review

The record was also reviewed in the August issue of England's Jazzwise magazine where it was described as "a chilled contemporary mainstream bop sound."
