As Georges Tonla Briquet‘s review for Jazzenzo Jazzmagazine states, “Almost every note evokes an image in itself. All very stylized like the soundtracks of the Greek Eleni Karaindrou for the films of Theo Angelopoulos. Music without excessive decibels or hip electronic effects but with a sincere gut feeling.”
