"Tim Collins sorgt mit seinen harmonisch dichten Begleitungen auf dem Vibraphon fuer eine fluechtige, manchmal weltenftrueckte Poesie"
-- Sueddeutschen Zeitung
"Collins' vibraphone style, which is pleasant, mature and full bodied, is nonetheless the least important thing on his agenda. His sextet plays with a rare degree of empathy in songs that run the gamut stylistically, but with a successful focus on cohesive teamwork, that is nothing less than exemplary."
-- DOWNBEAT Magazine
"The vibraphone is one instrument that has yet to make the transition to pop music...Tim Collins could be one to break that barrier. The guy can shred."
-- JAZZTIMES Magazine
"Collins is an exciting player who chooses only to flash his energy in certain spots…those moments are what makes this…impressive disc worthwhile."
-- All Music Guide
