Jazz Nu 1997 (NL): "Weinig eigentijdse producties weten op zo’n frisse en verrassende wijze Afrikaanse polyritmiek, westerse compositietechnieken en jazzachtige improvisatie te vermengen."  "There are few contemporary productions where African polyrhythms, western composition techniques and jazzy improvisations are mixed in such a fresh and surprising way."
