"Øyvind Berekvam på pedal steel- og slide guitar er det forfinede, sårbare japanske kirsebærtræ. Det mærker hvert lille omslag i musikken og publikums stemning, samtidig med at det forjætter tilskueren med detaljer lige så delikate, som de er forbigående."

"Øyvind Berekvam steelt de show op pedalsteel. Elk nummer geeft hij prachtige invulling en sluit perfect aan bij het opengitaargeluid van Dybdahl."

"He's a good man! And if you ever get a chance to work with him, work with him! With his great ears and his good sense of music, he will make you sound better in one way or another".
Olav Larsen

"The Jedson Project er soloprosjektet. Her reflekteres himmel og hav i ei speilblank overflate av steelgitar og svevende stemninger. Det er musikk med mye luft, Lanois og et helt spesielt lys. Folk-inspirert ambience, kaller han det selv. Pstereo nøler ikke med å utrope Øyvind Berekvam en av de mest interessante instrumentalistene her til lands."

"The Alabama Rodeo Stars og de andre medvirkende gjør en solid jobb. Bandet virker engasjerte og samspilte. Spesielt vil jeg trekke frem Merethe Camilla By på fiolin og Øyvind Berekvam på pedal steel, dobro og mandolin."
