"On Inspiration, Bzhezhinska demonstrated that she had oodles of soul, a quality not usually associated with harpists, who can be a tad wafty. She plays to this strength on Reflections, in the manner of her playing, her choice of material and her arrangements. There are hip hop beats, funk beats and backbeats in general, and little straight four/four".

"Reflections is a seamless whole. Bzhezhinska and her band craft a music equating timeless tradition and future vision without sacrificing emotion or taste".

"Part homage, part reimagination, Alina Bzhezhinska and HipHarpCollective's Reflections is all heart. In arrangements that feature the music of Mongo Santamaria, Duke Ellington and jazz harp foremothers Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane, Bzhezhinska brings a unique flavor that wrests groove and a percussion-driven motif out of these and other familiar tunes".
