“There are players who skate more, players with more driving rhythms and more 'original' versions. For listeners thirsty for 'notes...like hoisted water/raveling off a bucket,' for the generous lyricism that left the planet with Hank Jones and Tommy Flanagan, Christopher Wilson is a reminder that our musical well is deep and fresh, that a new generation of players can still lead us to it.”
— Michael Lauchlan, poet, author of "Trumbull Ave"
“With Solemn Moments, Wilson demonstrates that he is as much an accomplished a composer as he is an accomplished pianist. What is most remarkable about this record is the way he leads the trio as a single, organic entity.”
— Hrayr Attarian, jazz reviewer, All About Jazz
“The virtuosity of his playing along with his bassist and drummer are simply phenomenal, and their synergy is so perfect, they sound like a single entity moving together in lock-step. His music has so much positivity, groove, and joy, and it always gives me a boost listening to him.”
— Dr. Alton James, pianist, composer, and author
“He can swing like Peterson and be as probing and reflective as Evans whilst, at the same time, retaining his identity.”
— Lance Liddle, Bebop Spoken Here, United Kingdom
