In its very soft language Vigleik Storaas Trio performs the five of the nine compositions by Storaas, while Kenny Wheeler, Sam Rivers and Michel Legrand is «guest composers». The veterans Mats Eilertsen and Per Oddvar Johansen, in addition to Storaas, still know how to do it, with a majority of ballads, but in between there are more refined tunes like "Epistel" and the waltz "Eidsvoll". It is not merely beautiful, the trio also impresses with its secure interaction and ability to vary the rhythm and intensity. Reviewer Kjell Moe of the Norwegian newspaper Nordlys states:
... It's not particularly original to be compared to Bill Evans, but Storaas' abilities with his distinct and clear language in the moderate and slow pace to add an extra dimension in the form of an understated excitement...[2]
The review by Terje Mosnes of the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet awarded the album dice 5.[1]
