"Sea Ahead stands on its own merits, it is cerebral, offers polished improvisations, and has the essential sense of swing required (...) The Alfonso Calvo Septet is an extension of Calvo, an introspective musician, on a mission who has assimilated the intricacies of complex jazz composition, while steadily building a reputation as a first call bassist." James Nadal, All about jazz.
"Seis composiciones propias componen este Sea ahead de Alfonso Calvo a septeto, segundo trabajo como líder después del álbum homónimo de No Name Quartet, editado en 2014 y coliderado junto al baterista Miguel Queixas. (...) El contrabajista Alfonso Calvo en este Sea ahead cuenta con buen puñado de excelentes instrumentistas. (...) La obra muestra desde los primeros compases elegancia y elaboración a la par que cuidados arreglos. (...) Un disco donde su líder ejerce su presencia desde las sombras, dirigiendo, arreglando y componiendo con un gusto exquisito no sobrando ni faltando nada" Enrique Farelo,Tomajazz
