"Flat-out, Oii is on a completely different level than the rest of us. Oii has an extreme sense of detail which is why any Oii track is sure to have been meticulously gone over and carefully put together before anyone else hears it...In every note and word you can hear and feel the anger or heartache or longing. I like to use the word epic a lot, but to say that the song 'Battleshroud' is epic is a gross understatement. It pulses with frustration and anger, yet you can hear hope and empathy in the vocals and lyrics. Oii might not like me saying this, but anyone who hears 'A Lie inept' can't get it out of their head for days...Here's the thing about Oii. Oii is the only one that seems to have absolutely no boundaries, whether it be rock, hip-hop, classical, jazz, blues, soundtrack work, film. I honestly think that whatever Oii feels like doing, Oii will do. Which makes Oii one of the most interesting and powerful artists I have the pleasure of knowing."
-V.A.L.I.S. of Schizophonics
"[Oii's] voice is stunning."
-Beatmaster Trash of Schizophonics
"[Her] music is very good. It's so emotional."
-Super Fine Rotars
