“ All in all an impressive and well-paced album. 8/10”
- Len Dobbin, Montreal Mirror
“Pianist Louise Denson is a player to keep an eye on … [she] possesses some interesting playing and writing chops….”
- Jim Little, (Montreal) Hour
“Denson is an understated, thematic player …. [her] play on ‘My Favorite Things’ is simply exquisite: …her solo includes long idea development grounded both thematically and structurally – and it all hangs together elegantly. With Lozano’s solo taken into account, this performance is the best instrumental version of [My Favorite Things] I’ve heard outside the Coltrane orbit. There’s subtlety on this disc, and variety, and sparks of individuality, and a group that appears to be well matched with each other and its repertoire. What more could you want?”
- Dale Smoak, Cadence Magazine
“… ce premier album bouré d’émotion… elle joue magnifiquement cette musique qui la possède du vertex à la plante des pieds.”
- Claude Dornier, Paroles et Musique (SOCAN)
