"THE UNEXPECTED definitely lives up to its title... Performed by Raymond Scott's rarely recorded 'Secret 7' band, the album consists mostly of Scott’s bouncy, tightly wound jazz stomps. But UNEXPECTED throws some real curve balls, too. And even the straightest stuff is slightly off, placing the album among the best of Scott’s idiosyncratic oeuvre."

-Marc Masters, THE WIRE

"A weird and wonderful jazz record... An extraordinary release in many ways, even for Raymond Scott. Some pieces are worthy of Scott's earlier Raymond Scott Quintet literature, which for many remains his stylistic hallmark. These pieces generally tend to be more complex, ambitious and yet shorter than his earlier works. You really need to listen at least a couple of times to figure out what is going on. But once you've got a grip on THE UNEXPECTED its virtues become obvious."

-David Lewis, ALL MUSIC GUIDE
