"Viesselman's songs have a sage, hardened pathos that's hardly pretty-boy stuff. It's not exactly what he says, but how he says it, wherein the genuine power lies. He delivers silvery, potent lines that are killer in substance. No disappointment here, Viesselman has a charmed beauty all his own."
- Dirty Linen
"Stunning"

"Kreg's superb guitar playing and voice intertwine between each song - on the stand out song 'The Man Without A Care' he is joined by Boubacar Diebate on kora and vocals - the chorus tells us 'your life is unpredictable.. the future is uncertain.' Let's hope Viesselman finds a wider audience for this fine debut.""
