Selected Reviews quoted by Theodore Presser Company include:

"...a style of writing that is abstract yet attractively

figurative...Mumford's sounds are distant and floating, often gentle

and beguiling...remarkably rich and varied." - Joseph Dalton, Time Out

New York

"[The] balance between impressionism and expressionism makes Mumford's music

quite listenable if not outright interesting." - American Record Guide

"...evocative music that does not reveal all it has to say on the first

hearing but invites and rewards repeated [listening]." - Joseph McLellan,

Washington Post

"Put simply, Jeffrey Mumford's music is a place where extraordinary

compositional skills, a keen mind, and an intuitive empathy for the

full spectrum of human emotions, meet and are given expressive form."
