"It's an album to treasure with beautiful tunes that will stay with you always. A must for fans of Echolyn and for anyone who wants to widen their own musical horizons." -Steve of New Horizons

"The cover of the Gentle Giant song "Aspirations" is awesome, it's not just a cover, they have actually managed to develop it into a modern '90s prog song." -the missing piece
