«This is the most pleasant musical surprise of the season... It is the most delightful soup of avant garde jazz I've heard since, oh, the last time I saw Dutch percussionist Han Bennink... the music is experimental, exciting, interesting, incredibly well-played and diverse... The band is very tight, from the incredibly near-perfect rhythm section, to even the tight comic klezmer-inspired (but not remotely klezmer in effect) vocal harmonies on "Dancing."… This is simply a delightful experimental jazz album. It is the sort of album one would expect to hear on Tzadik. It is fresh, innovative, interesting music. This is music that makes you smile when you aren't awestruck at how good the band is... If your ears hunger for something new, something new that is worth hearing; something new that will change the way you hear a bit, then this is the album for you, too.»

«…the album is fun and lighthearted, with slow, freeform improvisation built up around spirited dance numbers. Lightning-quick drumming and a will-o’-the-wisp clarinet complement Krutogolov’s strutting bass and yelping vocal.»
(Music Director of KSPC 88.7 FM radio, http://www.kspc.org/, september 29, 2003)

«Certain passages, like the chaotic clarinet solo in "March", recall avant-garde jazz more than anything else, while the groovy funk-rock rhythm line in "Danglers Song" lies beneath mysterious woodwind melodies in an intriguing blend of traditional and modern.... The production, while solid, also shows a taste for experimentation.»

«Kruzenshtern & Parohod's music is so wonderfully weired, so unconventional and unique...»
---
«From there, they vamp like there’s no tomorrow, creating what can only be called psychedelic klezmer.. Although this kind of adventurousness may not be for everyone, this is one of the most interesting and pleasing new releases to emerge in quite some time.»
