The review by Terje Mosnes of the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet awarded the album 5 stars (dice),[2] and the reviewer Tor Hammerø of the Norwegian newspaper NettAvisen awarded the album 5 stars (dice)[1]
Dale shows instrumentalist and composer skills, to an exceptional extent. He was recognized in Norway already in 2008 when he and saxophonist André Roligheten won Jazzintro award within the duo Albatrosh. Since then he has taken new steps as a performer, composer and producer, until he now presents his own expression in album format. From the first note he makes it clear that he has a sense of rich, singing piano tone and he does sound treatment seriously. This musical expression is more than mature for world jazz scene.[2]
