Parnis' compositions are full of inventive harmonies and memorable melodies. He achieves a delicate balance on this release with tracks that have song-like structures that offer space and opportunities for improvisation. There is some overdubbing, but it is subtly done and is never distracting. There is a clever pacing of the material and the members of the exemplary quintet work with subtlety and understatement, making this an album full of personality and character. ★★★1/2 Neil Duggan – All About Jazz

Everything You Could Be is a sweet and spacious album. Parnis’ writing is deeply lyrical as in the sway of the closing ballad ‘The Cradle’ and the skipping ‘D.D.Q.’ [.] The playing here is unhurried and engrossingly rich, the kind of music that is made to soundtrack the coming days of autumn. Robert C. Gilbert – Listening Sessions

…this one’s a real winner. An inspiring combination of intelligent and accessible jazz. Frédéric Cardin – Pan M 360

He is someone I expect we will hear a great deal from in the future. Dee Dee McNeil – Making a Scene

The most beautiful and well-rounded track is, in my opinion, Measured Response, written by Parnis' father, Mark Parnis. That number is one of the most beautiful things I have heard in recent times within the framework of the ballad. Ivan Rod (Denmark – via Google Translate)

His presence is felt throughout, and swings well teamed with Greenwood on “A False Start”. Antonacci’s horn  is gorgeous on “Measured Response” and elegant over Blewett’s brushes on “The Cradle”, with Greenwood getting a folksy spotlight on “Guitar Intro” and building up with the leader on “Everything You Could Be”. George W. Harris – Jazz Weekly

Everything You Could Be explores the depth and beauty of jazz improvisation among a quintet of highly skilled music artists, and is a treasure for connoisseurs of modern-day original jazz. Midwest Book Review
