"You want to know who the new Monks, the new Coltranes, the new Davises are on the modern jazz scene? Start listening to Avital, and start with this recording." (Bird is the Worm)

"Avital’s album is a deep organic fusion of Middle Eastern and North African music with current cutting-edge jazz." (JazzTimes)

"The recording is suffused with the ecstatic playfulness of new mastery" Top 10 Jazz Albums of 2012 (NPR)

"Overall the album has something of a live feel to it and the musicians have plenty of freedom and space to explore while retaining a melodic underpinning. One of the most enjoyable new jazz releases of the year so far." 4/5 (UK Vibe)

"Avital draws heavily on music from the Middle East and North Africa, wedding melodic shapes from those regions with plush Western tonality and big, swinging grooves that sometimes borrow from the blues; the combination feels as carefully considered as it is electrifying." (The Chicago Reader)

"It’s like Blakey meets Coltrane in Tel Aviv" (The Mercury News)

"La intemporalidad del jazz se reafirma con obras como Suite Of The East"(Toma Jazz)
