"egil olsen has simply made the prettiest record we will hear this year."
-musikkbloggen click here for full review >
"what's insanely good is often called big music, but the largest thing about egil olsen's music is that his music is, in a way, so tiny."
-ostlendingen click here for full review >
"acoustic and tastefully arranged. though olsen's tender and characteristic voice is in the center, there's room for everything from strings and clarinets to steel guitar and tuba. and an extra point for upright bass."
-tronderavisa click here for full review >
"the lyrics are clever, at times vigorous, and very well written."
