"The majority of the sounds on Captain Of None are acoustic, but it's what Colleen does with them that makes it so much more than the plaintive record it might seem at first. Put it on as easy background listening and find yourself startled by the jagged looping of "Lighthouse" or the distorted drums on "This Hammer Breaks." But more important than what jumps out at you is what doesn't: silence, delay and the hypnotic effect of repetition are as much instruments as the musical instruments themselves. Those are all qualities we usually associate with techno, and that's where Schott really shines".

"Fransk Cécile Schott alias Colleen er ikke rent Afrika-inspireret, men sampler fra kontinentets traditioner, når det passer hende - som enhver anden dygtig globalista. Det sker ikke i røvrystningen eller basbombernes tegn som hos for eksempel Diplo eller M. I. A., men i en mere æterisk og lytteorienteret sags tjeneste ... Colleen giver et fint formuleret billede af, hvordan den præcise sansning af musik fra et andet kontinent kan resultere i en smukt koncentreret farvning af en musikers udtryk tusinder af kilometer væk".
