"Hetkessä seems like a very personal journey into Teija Niku's inner world." - Simon Broughton, Songlines Magazine December 2019 #153

"The entirety of Hetkessä is never forced or pyrotechnic, but relies on thoughtful contemplation and gracefulness to achieve its goal of bringing the listener into the studio with her, and keeping that listener in the moment." - Cliff Furnald, RootsWorld 

"Listening to Teija Niku's solo album one almost feels like sneaking into her studio, and in this solo context I actually appreciate Niku’s composition skills more than ever." - Tove Djupsjöbacka, Finnish Music Quarterly
