“The 7-piece band from Vaasa has done one of the most convincing debut albums in Finnish rock history”

"Jack Dalton Orchestra - a musical experience"

"One of this year's best!"

“A band that understands the greatness in brass and strings. Waiting for the debut album "Departures", the song "Like A Sacrament" is a happy pill.”

"This crazy cheekiness, recklessness and joy to play music together make the debut a surprising pleasure"

“The concert in Amarillo was one of the most convincing debut performances done by a Finnish band in a long time. Taking the stage were ten musicians seemingly pouring out their souls and hearts into their music.”

"The horn section is an important part of the Jack Dalton sound. It makes it even more interesting."

"Let’s dance. Not to Purring Pop or Stamp Beats, but to good old Bigband Sound with a touch of Texicana-Trumpets"

“A climax among the acoustic songs was the thoughtful "Living In LA"”

"The seven musicians from Vaasa, with a lot of enthusiam, so easily wipe off all clichés of the reputedly low-tempered Finns"

"Julius Thölix danced behind his keyboards as he embellished everything with his lovely Hammond tones."

“Paalanen's bass playing sounded fantastic.”
