”Kaaoksesta nousee jotain syvästi inhimillistä ja koskettavaa. Jotain häpeilemätöntä.” —Arttu Tolonen, Soundi

”A listen where rock’n’roll, gospel and folk bits are tucked in amid the jazz and classical bouts.” —Tom Steven, TakeEffectReviews.com

”Toivosen ensemble toteuttaa hänen ideaansa taiteesta, joka on jatkuvasti muutoksen tilassa, eikä siten voi koskaan toistua samanlaisena.” —Pentti Ronkanen, SuomiJazz.com

“Loose-limbed and ecstatic, this live collection is a refreshing change from sterile studio recordings, and hopefully a harbinger of things to come.” —Wif Stenger, FMQ.fi

“Det här är inte dagens konsensusjazz.” —Jan-Erik Holmberg, HBL
