  «The 23 minutes of the title-piece piece tell the most complex and imaginary story. Bilayer sounds as coming back from faraway, alien planets to familiar Nordic territories as Holsen’s manipulated trumpet sings like a goat horn while Bugge’s electronics add a resonating layer that at times sounds as extending the sympathetic strings of Hardanger fiddle. Later this piece evolves into an enigmatic and stormy, cinematic texture that portrays completely different and much more dangerous and unfriendly terrains but concludes with a peaceful coda. Only the nervous presence of machine-like, fractured rhythmic patterns reminds us that sonic horizons of Bilayer are far broader than any specific genre, era or concrete geographical space.»
  
  – Eyal Hareuveni, Salt Peanuts
  
  "The trumpet is dreamlike and gently beguiling, but just as you think you have the measure and things are drifting to a close, it all makes a vibrant, tumultuous return, this time sounding like a battle endlessly circling. Some of the sounds are really unpleasant and as the whole thing comes on like an underwater battle to the death, the violence gradually recedes until all we have is the drift of the sounds returning to the gentle mystery of the opening section of the album, a final conclusion that feels as if we have gone full circle."
  - Mr Olivetti, Freq
  
  «Bilayer skaper musikk med sterkt billedvekkende effekt. Selve anslaget på debutalbumet tar deg ned i fjæra. Bølgene slår mot stranda, og det går en tåkelur faretruende nær. Det er iallfall de første assosiasjonene jeg får. Så kan jeg lene meg tilbake og la den abstrakte musikken ta meg hinsides, bortenfor kjent topografi og inn i duoens kjølige lydunivers. Det er et pågående sig i det de gjør, en langsomhet som gir deg tid til å motta.»
  
  – Arild R Andersen, Jazz i Norge
  
  
  
  «Bilayer in effetti racchiude in se il nocciolo duro di quella che potrebbe essere la vera ragion d’essere del progetto, un modo di intendere l’improvvisazione elettronica che si esprime in tutta la sua distensione. Una lunga suite dove le varie concatenazioni tendono verso la scoperta di risvolti inediti attraverso l’interazione; un’organicità cangiante maggiormente viscerale fatta di obliqua ritmicità musicata dai fiati, passaggi ambientali lungimiranti, psichedelia e fredde ritorsioni di trambusti meccanici. Tutto scorre con estrema naturalezza e una capacità di sintesi che fanno ben sperare.»

  «Płyta Norwegów to intrygująca, odważna i bezkompromisowa kapsuła do której warto wsiąść i wyprawić się gdzieś daleko poza typowe układy słoneczno-dźwiękowe»
  
  – Łukasz Komła Nowamuzyka.pl
  
  
  
  «Det är krävande samtidigt som det är sinnesutvidgande och fantasieggande. Bilayer är täta lager av jazz och ljudkonst i sina renaste former.»
  
  – Lennarrrt Olausson, Lira
