Summer Nights (album)

Reception

Writing for Allmusic, music critic Scott Yanow wrote of the album "Although Joe Pass' main influence was Charlie Christian and he really does not sound like Reinhardt, he manages to evoke the spirit of Django while swinging in his own fashion. It is particularly nice hearing such tunes as "Belleville," the haunting "Tears" and "For Django" in newer versions."
