AllMusic, 2017
"Pianist Chick Corea and drummer Steve Gadd purposefully rekindle their '70s fusion roots on 2017's double-disc Chinese Butterfly ... Together, they have crafted an album that draws upon the expansive, keyboard-heavy sound of Corea's '70s fusion work, while also weaving in various Latin and African traditions. In some ways, the album brings to mind Corea's 1978 album Friends, which also featured Gadd in a similarly loose and lively atmosphere . Tracks like the opening "Chick's Chums" and slinky "Like I Was Sayin'" are funky, bop-inflected jams that could easily have been culled from a vintage Return to Forever album. Similarly, the languid, Brazilian-accented "Serenity" is a lyrical, gorgeously rendered number that fits nicely into Corea's long-standing love of world rhythms. Those rhythms are further explored on the album's second disc, which features an epic reading of the classic "Return to Forever" theme featuring guest vocals by Philip Bailey"

""Serenity" lets the band gel: Loueke brings his breezy, wordless singing to a melody shared with Wilson's flute that rides over a fluttering Latin groove. Chick is on acoustic piano, and after a fine solo, his playing over the return of the melody is even better and his conversation with Wilson on the out-chorus a subtle topper. Similarly, "A Spanish Song" is an old-school Corea Iberian melody for acoustic bass, piano and soprano saxophone. You think: this is probably what this band should be: a subtle blend of jazz and world music elements that blender up Chick's penchant for Latin grooves, Loueke's pan-African influences and a rhythm section steeped in Brazilian groove ... At the end of 100 minutes of music from these great musicians, you'll be puzzled as to what it all means. Percolating Latin tunes, samba grooves, fusion funk, percussive jams, flights of synthesize fancy, long-form composition, wordless singing, one special guest who messes up the tune. Such is ChickCoreain all his glory and excessive play and inability to focus or edit. Chinese Butterfly is at once like a greatest hits album of new material, and a restless travelogue"
