"I honestly think that Danish singer Sinne Eeg must be one of the best jazz vocalists alive today, although I confess I haven't heard them all. She just seems so at home with the idiom, no striving for effect, always in control. I last heard her with the Danish Radio Big Band, and now with this brilliant bassist Thomas Fonnesbæk, and the impression is the same. It's an unlikely combination, voice and double bass. With no piano or guitar to provide the harmonies, and no drummer to take care of the time, it calls for exceptional skill and mutual understanding. Think of them not as singer and accompanist, but as two equal voices, and their combined inventiveness will keep you happily listening for the album's full 50 minutes".

"Deres nye album er en pose blandede bolsjer. Et Lennon/McCartney nummer skal der vel nærmest være med. The Streets of Berlin fra Sinne Eegs 11 år gamle album Don't be so Blue har fået tilføjet strygerne LiveStrings ... Der kommer en stribe jazzklassikere i rap (...), det er her Sinne Eeg og Thomas Fonnesbæk står på sikker grund. De er i deres comfort zone. Prøv at lytte til Sinnes sikre fraseringer i Round Midnight - så er det vist sat på plads ... For dælan da - hvor kan de noget med Joni Mitchells The Dry Cleaner from Des Moines. Så er Fonnesbæk fremme i bussen igen. En flot afslutning på et afvekslende album".
