“Jazz and gypsy fans alike will drool over Turkish Blend…sure to please…”
– Mara Applebaum, NEW AGE RETAILER (Bellingham, WA)

“…Hepbir is obviously in touch with his Turkish heritage…a very promising effort for the U.K. resident.”
- Alex Henderson, ALL MUSIC GUIDE (Ann Arbor, MI)

“…grabs your ears and won't let go…Highly impressive, original work that handily shows there's still plenty of room for guitar innovation, even if it takes a move forward in the past. The cross-pollination works completely and never let's you down. Let the adult ears enjoy!”
- Chris Spector, MIDWEST RECORD RECAP (Lake Zurich, IL)

“…an enticing album filled with original compositions and fresh improvisation.”
- Ronnie D. Lankford, Jr., DIRTY LINEN (Baltimore, MD)
