Down Beat (4/95, pp.36-37) - 4 Stars - Very Good - "...Rypdal's 15th for ECM neatly integrates his varied interests in pensive chamber compositions, catchy pop structures and outre soundscapes bursting with spikey guitar shrapnel..."JazzTimes (7-8/95, p.124) - "...On some tracks...spacy, expansive musical environments that reflect a wide variety of influences, including rock, Middle Eastern and Asian. Others...a kind of Arnold Shoenberg-meets-the-electric-guitar setting....music guided by intelligence, emotion and experimentation..."Option (7-8/95, p.133) - "...Uncharacteristically for Rypdal, several tracks on this album come perilously close to jazz-lite, but they are nicely balanced by some vicious power rock pieces and a good measure of his individualistic, dissonant writing for strings and guitar..."64.15966

JazzTimes (p.58) - "Rypdal supplies big, brawny and also enigmatic distorted lines and occasional slide-guitar parts, in addition to the searching, half-detached lyricism that has been his calling card for 30-plus years."54.994

Q (6/95, p.128) - 3 Stars - Good - "...a quartet that is immediatley striking for the absence of both bass and drums. Rypdal's presence....together with the consistent purity of Surman's tone, make this a record of atmospheric rather than melodic interest..."Down Beat (3/96, p.53) - 4 Stars - Very Good - "...NORDIC QUARTET finds common ground among John Surman's ruminative bass clarinet and soprano sax, Karin Krog's plaintive, understated vocals and Rypdal's tormented guitar work....recaptures the ECM sound of earlier years, with Rypdal generating a gut-wrenching wail of anguish, and Krog offering softly detached vocals..."0.1938999

Down Beat (3/96, p.53) - 3 Stars - Good - "...Bjornstad, aided by cellist David Darling, lays out stately, solemn themes, perhaps reminiscent of Sibelius, only to have them repeatedly subverted and disrupted by the squall of Rypdal's guitar, or by Jon Christensen's percussion....THE SEA derives much of its color and life from these raucous juxtapositions..."0.1399352
