Reception
The All About Jazz review by Edward Blanco awarded the album 4½ stars and simply states: "The Roberto Magris Trio forges a remarkable musical statement on One Night in with Hope and More Vol. 2, revisiting and reviving the wonderful music of jazz pianists and bebop masters of the past, with a classic performance and masterful play from one of the best bebop jazz pianist of today." The All About Jazz review by C. Michael Bailey awarded the album 4 stars and simply states: "Magris closes out his long night of recording hard bop in the vein of Hope with a collection containing compositions by Herbie Nichols, Randy Weston, as well as several original pieces in the chosen vernacular. Magris' approach remains straight-ahead, seasoned with his potent and well-trained playing."
