"It sure didn't take long for these guys to emerge as one of the best traditional klezmer bands around. Their first CD served notice that they were a force to be reckoned with and there sure wasn't a sophomore jinx. A tighter, more unified sound than ever, with leader Eve Sicular booting things along from her drum kit. A band that can handle any tempo and a wide range of moods with equal mastery."
- George Robinson/Jewish Week: Five stars (highest rating)
"An urban, sophisticate sound, with crisp solos and exquisite ensemble playing... the musicality is true, and the... enthusiasm is unmistakable."
- Gigi Yellen-Kohn, Seattle Jewish Transcript
"If were forced to pick just one klezmer album to tide me through, I'd give serious consideration to Metropolitan Klezmer's collaboration with the Isle of Klezbos, Mosaic Persuasion."
- Rambles Magazine
