Allmusic[3]

In her review for Allmusic, Joslyn Layne said "Calm, meditative, and gorgeous, Colla Parte is a solo cello recording from Ernst Reijseger, a musician internationally recognized not only for technique, but for unmatched creativity and improvisatory skills. Warm, intimate sound and an informal atmosphere... Filled with beauty, this Winter & Winter release is highly recommended for all fans of string music in general, as well as for Reijseger fans specifically".[3]

In JazzTimes, Bill Shoemaker observed "On this often sumptuous and occasionally wry solo program, Reijseger combines prodigious classical training, a dash of subversive wit, and an open-hearted,if idiosyncratic brio, to make Colla Parte a thoroughly engaging album from beginning to end. Reijseger creates a seamless, cloistered calm from not just space-soaking pieces built upon devices perfected in previous centuries, but also borderline dadaist techniques and a wide range of materials".[4]
