". . . exceptional instrumental music with ever-changing elements of jazz, acid jazz, classical, blues and funk." (Jeff Archuleta, Eclectic Music Lover, 26 March 2024)

"[Odyssey] begins with seriously lush piano chords and then equally spine-tingling strings to extend . . . the chords and produce some goose-bumping dissonances. [A] friendly melody that sees Neil’s fluid and funky bass style and some rocking guitars underpinning Josephine’s multi-instrumental skills . . . There are some proper Steely Dan
"[Odyssey] begins with seriously lush piano chords and then equally spine-tingling strings to extend . . . the chords and produce some goose-bumping dissonances. [A] friendly melody that sees Neil’s fluid and funky bass style and some rocking guitars underpinning Josephine’s multi-instrumental skills . . . There are some proper Steely Dan moments in here . . . [and] it echoes so many of the Jazzrock and Fusion greats, . . . especially Joe Zawinul and Herbie Hancock . . . [M]usic like this is ultimately timeless and the quality of composing and playing is so high. Beautiful, bright and burning to be heard." (Neil March, Trust The Doc 31 March 2024)
“Starfish has a . . . dance-oriented feel, with a strong lively beat. Highlights for me are Josephine’s resonant piano keys, spirited strings and airy flute. Neil’s funky guitars and bass provide a wonderful, edgy counterpoint to the more classical-sounding strings and flute, yet complement both . . . nicely. It’s a marvellous track." (Jeff Archuleta, Eclectic Music Lover, 23 May 2023)
Starfish is "a characteristically funky instrumental that has the aura of a retro Cop Show soundtrack. Funky bass, consistently onbeat drums and some sumptuous keyboard chords are adorned with dexterous and part-improvised flute and violin. Imagine Mike Post in a jam with the Crusaders while veering into Rare Groove. It is engaging, tuneful, very musical and expertly performed" (Neil March, Trust The Doc, 31 May 2023)
On Zomer: Josephine . . . is at it again! Zomer brings us more of her goose-bumping chord progressions, delicate piano and beautiful flute playing. It is essentially Jazz-Fusion, instrumental and lively, played with real expertise." (Neil March, Trust The Doc, 30 September 2022)
On Zomer: "[Zomer] melds jazz funk and classical together . . . [with] . . . a soulful vibe. The flute . . . is just gorgeous - Josephine plays with a flavour that just . . . sings." (Del Osei-Owusu, The Songbird, 8 September 2022)
"In a time when the world needs to get up and celebrate what we have, this track [Jouska] hits the spot" (Del Owusu, Platinum Mind, 18 February 2022)
On Jouska: "A funky, fluid piece of Jazz Fusion . . . exuding a good energy . . . [and] lovingly put together" (Neil March, Trust The Doc, 28 February 2022)
