AllMusic Review by Jonathan Widran

It seems a paradox to peg the singular transcendental moment of Patrice
Rushen's very contemporary Signature as the one tune where acoustic jazz
sensibilities take over. But without the kick starting impact of "L'Esprit De
Joie," a perfectly titled free for all featuring Gerald Albright's roaring alto and
real ivories instead of keyboards, this would be simply another typical -- albeit
well performed -- slickly produced radio ready affair. The first three original
tracks blow by mid-tempo and cool, but offer little rhythmically to distinguish
one from the other. Based on "L'Esprit..," however, one could almost make a
case for abolishing electronics on this project altogether, but Rushen's lively
runs on the final few tracks also eclipse the laid back, humdrum qualities of the
early parts of the disc. Sort of like bland wine and cheese -- given no further
pep by a by the numbers take on Sade's "Sweetest Taboo" -- before a spicy
main course. Once she taps into her traditional roots, she seems comfortable
applying those deeper chops to more modern grooves. The getting there
takes far too long.
