"Top 10 album" - Motorhorst.de

"A beautiful piece of music... A melancholic pleasure"
- Alexander Eckstein, Bands in Berlin Magazine

"It tears its listener up. It pulls one out. It is marvelous".
- pittiplatsch3000.de

"The strengths of this album become more than clear... burns itself on the non removable disk of the human interior life"
- Daniel Rade, smash-mag.net

"Martin Gustafsson’s voice is the hook, reminiscent of many, but uniquely his own. But his songs are the longevity; each with a keen sense of melody, dark vulnerability, and brevity that allows the listener to love and long for more. In a sea of imposters, Boy Omega is the real deal".
- Kevchino

"A collection of velvety folk-pop songs and hallucinatory interludes. The blend of electronic and acoustic is (as expected) wonderful, and a nice contrast to his previous work"
- "Jim's pick", Parasol.com

"The Black Tango" is surely a pointed arrow, which goes and hurts directly into the heart". - Wasteofmind.de

"Music with inserted goose skin warranty!"
- Torsten Schlimbach, Discover.de

"The Black Tango is a tempered ramshackle record of 21st Century folk music that understands the value of brief meanders and intermissions and the importance of simply great songs. Gothenburg, my heart belongs to you". - tangents.co.uk

"Everything is better in Sweden and Boy omega is a new superhero to feed this theory". - spex.de

"The Black Tango," is so engaging, its about the only thing I have been listening to. This album has taken over my consciousness and I fully submit to it's intoxicating darkness and pop sensibilities".
- J.K - letitbeknown.typepad.com

"Uncanny and affecting... A musical and quiet temptation and so genuine that one remembers his own days of full hopelesness, and the hours, in which one wanted to break open into the new, far life thereafter... so beautiful" - Elisabett.de

"Affecting and moving" - Johannes Mihram, Bloom.de

"Boy omega works absolutely honestly and convincingly... thematically and in music... mad album!" - frankie, frkmagazine.de

"Marvelous melodies" - Tina Manske, gaesteliste.de

"Sounds beautiful! And works!"- Popfrontal.de

"A very beautiful album, which carries the listener forward 45 minutes long into its own world. And as a stronger human one returns again".
- Rainer Lingmann, Bubblehouse

"Melancholy is a term, which is here in music skillfully converted"
- nillson-fanzine.de

"A wonderful album" - Sonntag aktuell

"So beautiful the heart melts" - Mic, roteraupe.de
