"This entire album truly falls into the category of real art. Massively impressed with Sienná’s talent, writing and confidence to create music that’s off the beaten path, but that still hits the mark of satisfaction and then exceeds it by every possible measure. A real highlight for this year in creativity, imagination and the courage to follow the wildest of ideas (Sleeping Bag Studios, Canada)" "The music is "a richly-textured bed of melodic layers, freeform electronica and jazzy flourishes which becomes the deepest house in the galaxy when the groove kicks in (Kris Needs - Update Magazine, UK)" “This album ("Essence") has some amazing crossover features, from a Jazz infusion to a cute sort of Electro wizardry, and also some tasty dream-sequence excerts that could lend the set to a decent film producer with a vivid imagination (Someone like Tarantino)

(Pro Mobile Magazine, UK)" - "It’s definitely worth a try for people who like house music who are a little more intelligent than the stereotypical lover of said art (Sound Screen, UK)" - "The veteran sweeping synth pads and reverberating blips all set a specific mood the instant it begins (BS Magazine, UK)" - “Japanese born, continent drifting Sienna is a modern day Yoko Ono, Bjork with a hint of Underworld (Tasty Magazine, UK,)” - ”There are similarly neat flourishes on display peppered throughout the album, perhaps most striking on ‘Dance Of The White Rhythms’, in which nu-jazz meets a chanting priest (Last Broadcast, UK)" “It is interesting how the music highlights various meeting points between electronica, club- music and jazz-inspired elements (Bergens Tidende, Norway)" “It gets its grooves on with an insistent thumping beat. There is an interesting artist operating somewhere in this electronic maze: it would be nice to hear her emerge more. (Playback Magazine, USA, 2005)"
