Don't Stop the Music (Brecker Brothers album)

AllMusic awarded the album with 3 stars and its review by Jason Elias states: "The funky and quirky "Squids" features Randy Brecker's customarily offbeat and singular electric trumpet work. Hiram Bullock's articulate guitar also shines on that track and he fit into the Breckers sound like no other player. "Funky Sea, Funky Dew" is a reflective, urbane mid-tempo offering that has great tenor solos from Michael Brecker".[1] At the 1978 Grammy Awards the album received a nomination for Best R&B Instrumental Performance ("Funky Sea, Funky Dew").
