On "It’s Alright To Be Everywhere" Sascha Ley and her French colleague, double bass player Laurent Payfert, present a mix extraordinarily rich of variations from jazz standards to original compositions; sounds that evolve from instantaneous improvisations („instant compositions“) and over laid patterns of modern jazz: Fantastic and suggestive soundscapes, experiments, the use of special singing and instrumental techniques as well as the art of storytelling evoke a surprising and vivacious experience beyond mainstream.

- "Sammen har de laget en spennende og fin plate, som passer for de små sammenkomster. [...] For dette er spennende og variert musikk, utført av to utmerkede musikere man bare skal sette på ønskelisten." (Jan Granlie, Salt Peanuts, Okt 2019)
- "Spontaniczne kreacje dźwiękowe stanowią ciekawą mieszankę współczesnego jazzu i muzyki eksperymentalnej." (Long Play, 5 Okt 2019)
- "Die Musik, sie ist eine Mischung aus im Rahmen von Jazzkomposition entstandenen Standards und freier Improvisation… eine ernste Beschäftigung mit den Tiefen und Untiefen des Lebens an und für sich." (Martina Folscheid, Télécran, 10/2019)
- "Un monument d’ingéniosité et un délicieux délire" (Michel Schroeder, Zeitung vum Letzebuerger Vollek, 31 Okt 2019: 9).
- "Ley’s mostly wordless vocals are sometimes emotional and percussive; at other times [...] she almost sounds like a conventional singer. She effectively explores a variety of emotions without resorting to set lyrics. Payfert has excellent technique and sometimes swings the music even though he can play as freely as Ley sings." (Scott Yanow, New York City Jazz Record, June 2020: 19).
