Armin van Buuren declared about the song:“I’ve wanted to work with Vini Vici ever since they embarked on the music scene. Few acts have such a well-defined signature sound and I am really pleased with how ‘Great Spirit’turned out. I’ve been playing this tune in my live sets since Amsterdam Music Festival and they will be thrilled to know that it's finally been released.” [2]
Vini Vici declared about the song:“We believe that hard work,determination and passion can make every dream come true. But this is more than that. We could have never guessed that we’d collaborate with Armin van Buuren and it lly gone beyond our wildest dreams! We are really happy with the results!” [2]
According to Wackii from French webmedia Guettapen,"this collaboration is in the mood of the times and takes back all the codes of galloping psy and tribal vocals. [...] Armin's style is not found on this track but he shows one more time his amazing versatility! Nevertheless it is regrettable that the track doesn't really innovate and doesn't really represent a fusion of the styles…" [3]
