Reception

[edit]

Selwyn Harris of Jazzwise wrote, "As with the previous where are we, regardless of the diverse subgenre-mix or format, Redman is playing his best self these days."[4] Matt Collar of AllMusic stated, "While it doesn't feel like Redman is looking to completely redefine his sound here, he sounds engaged and encouraged to explore new sonic areas. He's never been one to sit still creatively, and his work on Words Fall Short speaks to his ability to both draw from his idols and from his quartet while pushing himself beyond his comfort zone."[2] John Fordham of The Guardian added, "The result is an album that feels more like an ideal balance of Redman’s own ingenuity and his ensemble rapport."[3]
