The Independent
Whether Portico Quartet ever were a jazz act is debatable, but they certainly don’t sound like one now.

The fundamental point of ‘Live / Remix’ is that it is only ever going to appeal to fans of Portico Quartet’s previous work. The live disc is clearly made up of particularly well performed cuts, and serves its purpose. The remix disc cannot help but feel somewhat underwhelming considering the talent involved, but such is par for the course.

The Clash
Jazz is almost a dirty word for most young musicians. . The reality is that jazz is as open and inspiring a term as any. Like every other genre, the boundaries are where you place them. And Portico Quartet like to place their boundaries a helluva long way away
