"Freysteinn arrives with their third sonic missive, Að einhverju/To somewhere. This is not your grandmother's jazz album; it is a musical expedition that pirouettes between traditional Icelandic folk whispers, rock and a progressive jazz swagger."

"The album is challenging listening but there are rewards to be had, there are moments of poetic and melodic beauty among the sometimes brutalist soundscapes: seek and thy shall find."

"Overall, this is a truly unusual and innovative piece of music, which forces the listener to approach the music with attention and total involvement and keeps him hostage from start to finish."

"The material from " Lokun sem varð að byrjun " can hypnotize the listener not only with the unconventional structure of the songs and phenomenal performance, but also with freedom and charm,"
