"...Benoit JazzWorks uncork a palatable disc that should have appeal beyond Hawai'i...Material selection is chic and precise, providing just the canvas for Benoit JazzWorks to spill out the blues and red-hot hues, sashaying from a sun-and-fun item (Swingin' Waikiki) to nocturnal sensations (Stella By Starlight, Moonlight Savings Time)...And who can resist the sedutive Besame Mucho?"
Wayne Harada, The Honolulu Advertiser Entertainment Writer
"The husband-wife duo of Phil and Angela Benoit, with the addition of other talented musicians, play a sophisticated style of jazz that embraces Latin rhythms and American pop standards in roughly equal measure...The Benoits' romantic version of "Embraceable You" shows their strength as a stand-alone duo."
John Berger, Island Mele - The Honolulu Star Bulletin
"The Benoit JazzWorks is a wonderful group from Maui that combines a Hawaiian lifestyle with jazz...'A Man And A Woman' features some terrific island and non-island musicians...there are many outstanding cuts such as Moonlight Savings Time, Besame Mucho and the title song A Man And A Woman...jazz stations everywhere should jump on this release, as it's perfect for any playlist".
