"An active musician in the Barcelona jazz scene, lady bassist Giulia Valle proves she is a formidable talent on her debut as a leader. Born in Italy, studied in Paris, and now a resident in New York, she delivers solid bass work and pronounced compositional skills. Leading an equipped and accomplished quintet that includes two saxophones, piano, and rhythm section, the her group produces thoughtful and catchy performances. Valle's extensive travel, musical education, and diverse experience are translated in her music in random tones from the lovely melodic opener “Extraña Serenidad,” rhythmic hypnotism of “Sunrise,” or the baroque richness of “El Tragaluz.” There's even a R&B Motown soul flavor on the closing piece “4 Your Love.”."

- By Mark F. Turner, All About Jazz, January 2005.

“Intermittently interesting album, but it runs into what's become one of my pet peeves: twin saxophone leads, almost always playing lines matched for harmonic effect. Valle plays bass and composed everything here but an Ornette Coleman tune. B”

- Tom Hull, Village Voice.
