All About Jazz[5]

The AllMusic review by Matt Collar said "As with all of Cables' albums, Icons & Influences is a fluid, urbane album full of engaging modern jazz".[4]

On All About Jazz, Jack Bowers stated "on the trio date Icons and Influences Cables warmly salutes a number of those who have helped frame his musical persona and escorted him along a journey of wonder and discovery that has enabled him to become the superbly talented artist he is today ... Dedications aside, this is a splendid trio session led by one of the jazz world's more proficient and accessible contemporary pianists. Full credit to Cables, Douglas and Lewis for a job well done".[5]
