"Nine clever and catchy compositions!"
"Cervini is propulsively active, creating textural and rhythmic tension at will, yet he dons a calm, subtly sophisticated hat for the album''s three ballads."
Geoff Chapman - Toronto Star
"The opening cut, called Mestropholis, is an up-tempo sizzler, replete with New York energy and verve. TGV starts as a tone poem and develops into a powerful statement before returning to the core theme."
"(Cervini''s) solos expand the melody and rhythm, and his passion and tasteful restraint should ensure a bright future."
Irwin Block - The Montreal Gazette
