Reviews:

"Fragmentary scores and lurid lapses make Pladeshop an innovative album even on the shelves of innovators." (Na Mira do Groove in Portuguese)

"Pladeshop matches Toxvaerd’s ferocious, ethnic-flavoured free improv with rising pianist Simon Toldam and veteran percussionist Mailyn Mazur." (Irish Times)

"The vocal performance Vandet and the title track are pure poetry." (Jazzmozaïek in Dutch)

"Hennes rå spillestil blir en fin kontrast til Dahls litt sobre pianospill, men det gjør også musikken enda mer interessant. " (Salt Peanuts)

"Laura Toxværd har banket en ny milepæl ned på jazzens uendelige landevej." (Jazz Special)
