« All the performances are not only spirited, but disarmingly affectionate. The recordings are extremely present and lifelike. This is a marvelously produced album… it gives a picture of a young Canadian music in vibrant good health, confident, naive, and brimming with ingenious and ingenuous ideas. »
– K.G., Fanfare

« A compilation as stunning as the city itself… a type of musical ballet for the new enlightenment. »
– Dwight Loop, Santa Fe Sun
