"Virtuositeit en emotie passen wonderwel bij elkaar en het soort Roma-muziek dat Mec Yek vandaag de dag maakt, heeft zonder iets van zijn authenticiteit op te geven moeiteloos de stap naar de moderne tijd gemaakt."

"Virtuosity and emotion fit together wonderfully, and the kind of Roma music Mec Yek makes today has effortlessly made the step into the modern era without giving up any of its authenticity."

Dani Heyvaert honored Mec Yek with a great review for Rootstime

"Une poésie foncièrement belge, sans aucun doute, d'une liberté réjouissante".

"A fundamentally Belgian poetry, without doubt, with a delightful freedom".

Citizen Jazz on the first EP of 3'Ain in Citizen Jazz:

"3'Ain is a more dreamlike project, with influences from folklore that can be described as imaginary, so vast is the map of tenderness (...) A fundamentally Belgian poetry, without doubt, with a delightful freedom."
