Criticism
The New York Times called Spirit Sensitive "a lyrical, utterly traditional album of ballads and jazz standards."[4]
Jazz critic Scott Yanow called the album "a change of pace for Freeman, for it features the usually adventurous tenor (who doubles on soprano) mostly playing warm versions of standards.”[2] The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide called it an "exquisite ballad album ... where Freeman blows standards with more invention and conviction than most old-timers."[3]
