"Nilsson demonstrates, again, how he can color and mutate the character of each piece with his sensitive and inventive touch."
- Eyal Hareuveni/All About Jazz
"Nilsson's drumming is broad and creative, working his instrument often like a percussionist would, adding accents, creating musical effects rather than rhythm and pulse."
