«There is a lot happening, but a lot of listening too. … That is the proof of a mature ensemble and this one groups some of the best players of the turn-of-the-century French improv scene. Strongly recommended.»
F.Couture, allmusic.com

«The players maintain an uncanny control over the direction of their improvisations; there's so much to listen to here, it's a wonder there are only five members in this collective. An intriguing record, and wonderfully executed.»
R.di Santo, incursion.org

«… kreieren relaxt und inspiriert und mit sensiblem, langem Atem fein ausgehörte, grossräumige Gebäude freier Kollektivimprovisation.»
J.Anders, jazz n'more

«Mostly the instruments remain recognizable, but work together to create the feel of one giant instrument. Timbres and attacks change across all of the instruments simultaneously, as a giant canvas reveals itself before your ears. A great recording.»
J.Surak, Vital Weekly

«The music has an ethereal base, but it rises to peaks of power in a designed, methodical manner and then falls back into a quiet mood, only to spurt to the summit again.»
F.Rubolino, Cadence

«Son récent enregistrement sur FOR4EARS l'atteste, Hubbub témoigne d'une génération qui épreuve la nécessité de se prêter de plus en plus à l'improvisation libre pour explorer et défricher toujours.»
T.Jarrier, Jazzman
