"Cliché" is one of the most memorable tracks off the album with compelling instrumentals and vocals as he sings "I don't want to sound cliché, I want you to hear my thought and nothing else." There is nothing "cliché" about the Alex Otey Trio and he "doesn't sound like anyone else"

Alex Otey's work through the years is well thought out and well played as well. He is able to build up from the ground, to create a style that is in similar, fashion of the past into the modern age of today. "Love Matters Now", is that type of release that keeps the music jumping and bumping.

'Alex Otey Trio commands an extraordinary palette of compositional maneuvers - 'Love Matters Now' is nominally jazz, but impossible to estimate on that basis alone; it's a rich, genre-expanding work with broad appeal.'
|
'Don't skip this one - 'Richie's Bop' has the kind of smooth jazz elegance that's gone lacking over the last decade; Alex Otey Trio is an ideal messiah for the style's resuscitation.'
