Maestro Mr. Ryan Cayabyab said, “The CD is wonderful, Ang gaganda ng mga kanta. I have never heard anything so uniformly, highly musical in performance. The arrangement themselves are excellent. I believe there will be several hits that will be spawned by this collection. I am thrilled by the fact that these new Pinoy songs are fresh, new sounds with new lyrical concepts, or  even if they are not new concepts, the approach is definitely new and the performances of the interpreters are indeed jems!, Hindi pa man contest proper , panalo na tayong lahat. This is a major collection and I am very proud to be a part off the Philippine Popular Music Festival.”
