Two Is One is an album by American saxophonist Charles Rouse recorded in 1974 and released on the Strata-East label.[1]
The editors of AllMusic awarded the album 4 stars, and reviewer Brandon Burke stated: "Given his discography, this record is atypical and probably not for everyone, but enjoyable nonetheless".[2]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings called the music "pretty startling," and commented: "It's a difficult performance to locate within Rouse's overall output, but there is no denying its effectiveness."
A writer for Billboard remarked: "this is an appreciated release and shows another side of Rouse, as it presents him in a funky feeling."[3]
Guitarist Jeff Parker wrote: "This album introduced me to Strata-East Records, and I've been... following the label and collecting the records ever since."[4]
