"What Alan Morse Davies has created here functions as an awe-struck appreciation, a stunning evocation and also a warning. Svalbard (as a place and a work of art) deserves your utmost respect." [8/10] - Steve Dewhurst, Foxy Digitalis

"As with all of the pieces on Svalbard, Alan Morse Davies seems to have played the role of “medium” rather than “composer”, enhancing existing music rather than constructing it afresh – the album takes small, seemingly insignificant snatches of history, using them as the basis of towering monuments of astounding beauty." - Jack Chuter, ATTN:Magazine

"We often speak of things being frozen in time, and that metaphor is particularly apt in sound that takes bitter cold environs as their subject matter. The tracks, for all their distinctions from one another, are inherently lovely, at times with a kind of extravagance that seems at odds with their placidity." - Marc Weidenbaum, Disquiet
