Background

Neset and his comusicians here presents a shimmering kaleidoscopic album of different expressions and influences, and delight with compositional and instrumental complexity. At the same time, Neset sounds more mature, soulful and melodic than ever before.

Critical reception

The All About Jazz reviewer John Kelman awarded the album 4.5 stars and the review by Ian Patterson of the British newspaper The Guardian awarded the album 4 stars, The Irish Times reviewer Cormac Larkin awarded the album 4 stars.
The Guardian critique Ian Patterson, in his review of Neset's album Pinball states:
... The folk and world-music sweep of its snaking melodies, the subtlety of its tonal contrasts and its mix of intensity and insinuation make Pinball another step-change in Neset’s already spectacular career...
