Critical reception
editJeff Tamarkin of All Music Guide rates it at 4 out of five stars and says, "This Meets That, as its title implies, is less of a thematic album than some of Scofield's more recent endeavors, but it's one that reminds listeners that both his chops and sense of adventure are not only intact but still growing."
