Derek Reid reviewed Den Flygande Bokrullen's first record in the British folkmusic magazine Folk Roots (# 168 June -97): "Wow [...] They have a raucous swagger and the real joy of a 'Simcha' band rather than the current run of concertising groups. They remind me so much of the Yiddish bands which played the East End of London in the dwindling years of a great community. Party! Party!"
