Reflections is the fortieth studio album by B.B. King, released in 2003.^[5]^[6] It pays tribute to the big band sound of King's youth.^[1]

Critical reception[]

PopMatters wrote that "among all the honorable, likable, vaguely disappointing numbers, there is one song, King's own 'Neighborhood Affair,' that provides a startling reminder that B.B. King is not simply a blues icon, not simply the affable symbol of a music that even non-fans can identify."^[7] The Washington Post called the album "safe and predictable" and "a minor footnote" in King's career.^[1]
