“»Night Verses« gives the listener the impression of wandering through Finnish forests at night. The musical atmosphere of the album is, as expected from The Man-Eating Tree, impeccable!” — Metal Hammer
“This is a must for fans of a less dusted-off Katatonia and/or SwallowThe Sun. Finns remain champions in conveying an honest melancholic feeling in metal!” — Rock Tribune
“»Night Verses« (via Noble Demon) combines yearning melancholy, brutal rawness, profound intensity and thrilling dynamics in an outstanding, captivating, and deeply moving way! Atmospheric metal meets dark rock!” — Twilight Magazine
