"Réalta's second album reveals occasional snapshots of brilliance, propelled by an appetite for unlikely tune pairings and a keen ear cocked to the propulsive power of rhythm ... It's challenging for any ensemble to mine fresh territory in a crowded space, but Réalta, under the watchful eye of producer Dónal O'Connor, and with some highly disciplined arrangements, do just that".

"Overall Clear Skies combines superb playing with infectious energy and great musicianship to create a really excellent album, and there is hopefully much more to come from this group".

"The second album from Northern Irish quintet Réalta shows the maturity and togetherness of a now well-travelled ensemble while still bursting with the youthful, barnstorming spirit that won them a Danny Award at Celtic Connections in 2012 ... the high standard is consistent across all eleven tracks".
