Review

French Only is the second album from this acclaimed Norwegian jazz trio. Their music is both hot and swingin', it is open and free, and it is melodic and lyrical. In fact it has so many facets to it as well imaginable for such an ensemble, and much of the credit must go to Steinar Raknes that once again have composed almost all the music, and thus has created a starting point full of challenges both for himself and his two musical companions.[1] [2]

Reception

The review by the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet awarded the album 5 stars (dice).[1]
