"Hancock pushes at the borders of hard bop, finding a brilliantly evocative balance between traditional bop, soul-injected grooves, and experimental, post-modal jazz...That passion informs all of Empyrean Isles, a record that officially established Hancock as a major artist in his own right." -Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AllMusic.com
