Fontessa bei allmusic.com. Abgerufen am 12. Juli 2017: „This LP has a particularly strong all-around set by the Modern Jazz Quartet. While John Lewis' "Versailles" and an 11-minute "Fontessa" show the seriousness of the group (and the influence of Western classical music), other pieces (such as "Bluesology," "Woody 'N You" and a pair of ballads) look toward the group's roots in bop and permit the band to swing hard.“

Fontessa. musicweb-international.com, abgerufen am 10. Juli 2017 (englisch): „The keynote feature of this album was the long-form suite written by John Lewis called Fontessa … The remaining tunes on this album are a combination of two popular standards and two jazz melodies each of which offers the band improvisational opportunities. On Milt Jackson’s Bluesology both Jackson and Lewis take advantage of the composition’s blues structure to deliver inspired solos and a brilliant reading of the material. On the Arlen/Harburg standard Over The Rainbow drummer Connie Kay drops out, leaving Jackson and Lewis reliant on the bass of Percy Heath which gives the tune a meditative air.“
