2) " Veel belangrijker is dat hij hier muziek laat horen, die zo intrigerend en meeslepend is. De ene keer zit je op de punt van je stoel en op andere momenten kun je even achteroverleunen en nadenken of gewoonweg genieten op diezelfde stoel. Crijns lijkt haast te praten met zijn gitaar, wat helemaal zorgt dat je in de houdgreep genomen wordt "

3) " What fascinates me, in Crijns’s music, however, is not so much this hybridization between improvisation and composition, something now almost taken for granted in the field of experimental music, in particular for guitar, as for a sort of incremental / formative factor that seems to me to grasp in his music."

4) " Crijns is a creative powerhouse, and if one is looking for intrepid explorative improvisations for two, three, or four electric guitars, recorded onto a four-track recording system and mixed for release, this may be your ticket to wonderland. "

5) " Maar voor hen die houden van afwisseling, is dit album zonder meer aan het goede adres. Want ook nu tovert Crijns weer een bonte diversiteit aan muzikale werelden te voorschijn. "
