"Borowicki plays the guitar with wonderful minimalist, almost completely acoustic touch, shunning flashy displays of egocentric show-off." ~Adam Baruch

"His unique perception of the inner workings of simple things will make you feel happy, sad, weird, dizzy, offended, pleased and much more." ~Ronny Graupe

"It is a joyful feeling to hear music of such quality, especially when it comes from musicians who are at early stages of their careers. The maturity and talents displayed here are all exemplary. As a result this is another great album released by the For Tune label, and certainly one of the strongest releases this year on the Polish Jazz scene." ~ Adam Baruch
