PopMatters[2]

PopMatters correspondent Michael Kabran concluded "Broken Arm Trio clearly features the work of three musicians who, while tremendously adept at playing jazz, are snuggly rooted in the rock and European classical and folk idioms".[2]

Writing for All About Jazz, Mark Corroto observed "Friedlander seems to be opening his music to jazz and no-jazz fans. Much like Bill Frisell and Charlie Haden's open arm approach to jazz that can swallow both country and classical, Friedlander is pushing his vision into the open ended world defined simply as music".[3] On the same site Troy Collins noted "A tireless artist, always open to expanding the acoustic cello language, Broken Arm Trio is one of Friedlander's most refreshing and vibrant efforts".[4] A.D. Amorosi stated in JazzTimes that "it’s gorgeous, soulful and smart".[5]
