Professional Reviews
Entertainment Weekly (11/6/92, p.67)
- "...they seek the messy Mingus spirit through genre-bending collisions of attitude and sound that cast Elvis Costello as crooner, Henry Rollins as beat poet, and Chuck D as jazz historian..." - Rating: A

Q (1/93, p.93)
- 3 Stars - Good - "...The results are odd in the extreme, but it is a strangely fluent and affecting body of music with an appeal to match any of [producer] Hal Wilner's previous multi-artist tributes..."

Alternative Press (4/93, p.85)
- "...the listener can be totally unaware of [Charles] Mingus' music, and still find WEIRD NIGHTMARE compelling...it all feels right and warm...you don't listen to this music, you feel it..."

Audio Magazine (11/92, p.124)
- Sound: B - Performance: B - "...Brilliant solos abound...more cohesive than [producer] Willner's past projects...weirdly wonderful music..."

Vox (12/92, p.97)
- 8 - Excellent - "...Charles Mingus would undoubtedly have approved of WEIRD NIGHTMARE...Mingus was one of the greatest composers of the 20th Century--and these interpretations help to make that point..."
