"Aynur emerges better than most from [Javier Limón's production] process, and the merging of the Kurdish and the flamenco influences (...) is well considered. It's certainly not a "forced" fusion. Spanish and Kurdish percussion work well together, Limón's guitar that often begins tracks is soon well placed alongside Cemîl Qoçgirî's tembur, and when Saúl Quiró's flamenco voice comes in on Derya Kenannda Bir Ev Yapmisam, its aural movement east seems to jump continents and give a flavour of qawwali. And nothing placed around it is going to diminish the ultra-expressive Aynur voice ... It's an excellent album and would possibly knock the socks off anybody coming to her from a standing start. Just don't expect something with the impact of [her debut] Keçe Kurdan".
