Reception
The
AllMusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4 stars and states "this, like Lloyd's other recordings on ECM is about emotion, feeling, and a sense of peace and serenity. Lloyd uses the rough places in his improvisations, to be sure, but it is only to make the rough places plain, limpid, utterly integrated in a serene whole. On Jumping the Creek he succeeds seamlessly and ups his own artistic ante."
[2]
The
All About Jazz review by John Kelman states "Jumping the Creek represents a clear highlight in a career filled with memorable milestones."
