Allaboutjazz Italy chose it as one of the top 10 albums of 2017. National Public Radio in Usa has made a full feature on Nahnou Houm, published here Praise for Nahnou Houm:
While "Nahnou Houm" may have the lofty goal of trying to alleviate the tensions currently being fostered by those spouting aggressive and divisive rhetoric through their music, Balke and the members of Siwan have created music that goes beyond being socially and intellectually inspiring. This recording resonates with music and poetry unlike few albums released these days. Buy it for the lofty ideals it represents, but be prepared to be swept away by its beauty.

Ein Kollektiv fantasievoller und virtuoser Spieler setzt die Idee Balkes kongenial um. Es ist ein abenteuerliches und inspirierendes Werk, das aufzeigt, wie es klingt, wenn sich drei Welten wiederfinden, die man einst getrennt hat. Sebastian Meißner "Sounds and books"
