Eelco Schilder, reviewing Tummel's Oy on Folkworld CD Reviews, writes:
Ben Ohmart, writing in The Muse's Muse, comments playfully that
Alexander Agrell, reviewing Payback Time (in Swedish) in the Sydsvenskan newspaper, notes that the lineup has changed (Annika Jessen the clarinetist has left), but awards the album a "Plus for humour, cool English lyrics and the originality of the whole thing". He hears influences from rock music, punk, heavy metal, cabaret and even Tom Waits in the album. [2]
A staff reporter from Skanskan.se described (in Swedish) the experience of arriving at a Tummel gig: "The desire to dance and clap in time arises immediately. Your thoughts turn to blazing camp fires and swirling skirts." [8]
