Quelques chroniques :
"...Like Fish-era Marillion & Pendragon crossed with Parallels & Inside Out period Fates Warning, maybe add some of Queensryche's more laid back but powerful moments, this band know when to act on release and retention to behold the musical mantra implemented on this record, where there is a 'balance' and not a 'zig-zag' of tuneage brought forth. Sparrows possesses the big melodic standing of what a good progressive hard rock album should be, the tunes hold strong alongside the musicianship - certainly a band to keep an eye on..." (4/5)"

"...I put the cd in my player and for almost 1 hour I was speechless; amazing psychedelic, progressive rock and an outstanding production. ...These lyrics combined with the psychedelic and progressive rock make the album an impressive experience; there are only highlights... Sparrows of the Dutch The Barstool Philosophers is must for all Queensryche fans and progressive rock fans. BUY THIS RECORD!!!! (92/100)"
