Hear The Indie: "Surprisingly engaging and atmospheric instrumental guitar tunes incoming. John DePatie is capable of utilizing his guitar as a voice box of sorts; and it becomes an extension of his lips as it projects his thoughts through musical language."

Super Melodic Tracks: "The tracks in this album seem to evolve over time. That's a very good thing. They also have strong melodies. That's another very good thing, especially for this blog. This is much more restrained than Joe Satriani, no doubt, but it's not a bad thing at all. My favorite tracks in the album are actually the slower ones: "Jaeljo Overture" and "Wind Chimes From Jupiter"
