The magazine Artribune places the album among the 25 best records of 2015.[6] According to the magazine Neural, "in 1915 The Armenian Files a passionate and involved narrative is modulated by multiple influences and linkages, in an ultra-vivid junction of acoustic-electronic dramaturgy and immersive sensory perception".[7]

quanto si ascolta è l’ennesima conferma della sensibilità di un musicista poco appariscente nelle cronache mondane, ma di grandissima sostanza.

-Fabrizio Zampighi, Sentireascoltare 10.01.2016[8]

un'opera bellissima – tanto sonora quanto poetica

-Lello Voce, Il Fatto Quotidiano 28.06.2016.[9]
