"Refined and robust, these well organized aural assemblages give ample animation and seriousness to the light and prosaic elements of the everyday.” -– Cyclic Defrost (Australia) 


"Full of dreamy post shoegaze soundscapes, ethereal female vocals & lullaby folk textures. It kind of reminds me of the pastures between Sigur Ros & Cocteau Twins, the voice fluttering & hovering around tantalisingly between absorbing passages of crisp acoustics, subtle found sound samples, gentle ambient/drift textures and blissed laptop glitch. It's definitely of a high pedigree, lovingly produced and a delight to look at as well hear." - Norman Records (U.K.)  


"A gentle album thats shines like a jewel, like sunlight through the leaves of trees." -- Bounce Magazine (Tower Records Japan) 


"Everything is worked out into the smallest details. With field recordings and microsounds they sculpture songs to accompany dreamy vocals. With an eye for details like Taylor Deupree and in the vein of Japanese musician Piana. 8/10" --　EARlabs 


”ts not easy to pin down aspidistrafly’s music into a specific genre, which is a good thing. Can you imagine Richard Chartier playing dreamy pop music? With some female vocalist? I’d say aspidistrafly is microsound and pop. Very refined.”-- Vital Weekly 


"他們全心全意打造出一張滿載追憶與情感，卻跳脫文字，純粹以深思熟慮的聲音設計營造出獨特氛圍的專輯,「i hold a wish for you」每個細節都盡見aspidistrafly對他們心血結晶有多麼的重視！" -- Node Culture (Taiwan)  


"仿佛一串追憶中的片刻清醒，一次長途遷徙中的短暫停留，安逸、和煦，點綴著自身的優雅和aspidistrafly式的消匿，就像天高氣爽的時日，從空氣中踱出一位詩人，他無聲無息地握住另一位詩人微顫的雙手――aspidistrafly也曾這般仁慈――然後，指縫間滲出一道明銳的光" - - 中國著名音樂雜誌《通俗歌曲．搖滾》
