The Metal Mag – 100/100 : A beautiful journey into the mind with the lights in the sky transporting you into peaceful places. A must-have for any guitar lovers.

Myth of Rock – 9/10 : Some say that instrumental albums are boring and without feeling … that is not the case of the “Starseeds IV” album, which is, first of all, interesting and so emotional – it really deserves your full attention. 

Profil Prog – 8,5/10 : Ceux qui ont aimé les chapitres ‘Starseed’ précédents vont adorer cet album.

DPRP : The album here is a lovely mix of “vanilla” prog instrumentation, and modern technicality mixed to provide a blend of hard music, and soft emotion.

Power Metal.de – 7,5/10 : Ich bin wirklich beeindruckt, speziell die letzten vier Stücke, die alle unter vier Minuten durch das Ziel gehen und in denen Boscher nochmal die ganze Bandbreite seiner Sounds und Stile durchmisst, sind wirklich großartig und teilweise wirklich schwermetallisch.
