Victory Review
"...this is a driving club and stage band of the sort that Mendocino bootie-wigglers die for."

CMJ
"...they play the music of Turkey and Armenia with passion and finesse"

Record Roundup
"Kef Time means "Party Time"; this popular band, wild and full of abandon, certainly lived up to its name!"

Sing Out!
"A marvelous recording of Armenian American music"

Dirty Linen
"wild, muscle-flexing Middle-Eastern "folk-rock" gold...more roots than rock, but no rock music is more energized, driven or passionate."

JAZZIZ
"Mixing ud and guitaar, this music rocks!"
