Upon Reflection is a solo album by English reed player and composer John Surman recorded in May 1979 and released on ECM later that same year.[1]

Reception

The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4½ stars, calling it "an atmospheric solo set that utilizes overdubbing (although leaving space for unaccompanied solo sections)... Fortunately there is enough variety in this generally quiet music to hold one's interest."[2]
