The quartet was brought together by Rikskonsertene for an ad hoc promotional performance in 1995, and later booked to a festival at Cosmopolite by the same institution.

[2] The album was released by way of a mini tour of Norway, spanning Tromsø, Bodø, Trondheim, Lillehammer, Sandefjord, and Arendal.

Bladet Tromsø gave a dice throw of 6, the highest score, for the highly effective mixture of different folk traditions.

[9][10][11] Bergensavisen only found the record worthy of the dice throw 3, stating that the album became uniform and only would catch the interest of the "particularly inclined".

[13] Nationen found that although the album veered on the verge of uniformity, and was "maybe somewhat polished around the edges", the reviewer deemed the project successful.
