"For a band without a label and management in the back the quality of the songs and production is really great and it still leaves space for further improvements."
Gustavo Alonso - Good Music is Good Music
"Albumul pe care Vespera tocmai l-a lansat este departe de a suna ca un album de debut. Ori, mai bine zis, ar fi extraordinar ca mai multe albume de debut să sune atât de bine pe cât sună al lor. Ce-i drept, vorbim despre un „debut” la șase ani de la prima apariție pe scenă, astfel că lucrurile pot părea puțin dezechilibrate, dar dincolo de toate acestea, Desert of the Real rămâne un album realizat cu foarte mare profesionalism. Nu l-am ascultat integral, cap-coadă, dar am parcurs cu interes înregistrările, individual, iar fiecare dintre ele m-au lăsat cu zâmbetul pe buze, convinsă o dată și încă o dată, la fiecare nouă ascultare, că Vespera a găsit o rețetă pe care nu multe trupe de pe la noi au început măcar să o caute."

"felicit trupa Vespera pentru lansarea albumului (greu de crezut) de debut, album complex, extraordinar de bine închegat, care, în opinia mea, le încununează munca de până acum, deschizându-le totodată, noi oportunități"
