Critical reception

The review by Neil Spencer of the British newspaper The Guardian awarded the album 5 stars,[1] the review by Terje Mosnes of the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet awarded the album dice 6,[2] the review by Carl Petter Opsahk of the Norwegian newspaper Verdens Gang awarded the album dice 5,[3] and the reviewer Ian Mann of the Jazz Mann awarded the album 4.5 stars[5]

According to Mosnes, with this album, Neset takes further steps on his way to the Jazz sky. The brilliant compositions and the musical skills of this band are extraordinary. It is only to look forward to the next move of this great jazz musician and composer.[2] [6]

NRK Jazz critique Erling Wicklund, in his review of Neset's album Birds states:

... The album's title and opening track Birds is one of the funniest tunes I've heard - a frantic but through structured rhythm chaos of a remarkable ensemble where flute, accordion and tuba are capped off by Nesets increasingly ecstatic tenor sax. And so across the great symphonic pensive, before tenor saxophonist reconnects with acrobatic leaps in a musical boxing match ...[7]

BBC Music critique Peter Marsh, in his review of Neset's album Birds states:

... Possessed of a big, supercharged sound on the tenor, astonishing control and a steady stream of ideas, Neset shapes confident, pushy and questing solos over the fleet, pin-sharp playing of the rhythm section...[8]
