“The agility and interplay between the three, on what is Escreet’s first-ever trio recording, makes the entirety of Seismic Shift a joyful, “hell, yeah” listen” – Downbeat

“Seismic Shift is a gorgeously arresting album, and there’s never a moment where you can easily predict where Escreet’s trio is going to go next.” – All Music
