Some reviews in English :

« Virtuosity –yet present- is not the primary objective. The musicality and harmony are the leading points of the project … with the swing … of course. ! »
Christian Grimauld, Couleurs Jazz

« Those who are familiar with Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli will not find any slavish copying here, but rather something that makes this album irresistible: the core of the Django style has been thoroughly internalized by Vuillemin and company so that they are free to be themselves within this chosen framework. »
Budd Hopman, All about Jazz, 4 stars

The bit of stuff I listened to, offered in the post above, seems unique, as if the same quality of arranging and care that went into the original Hot Club material had been carefully reconstructed such that this group could produce their own version of "that" sound. It's uncanny.
