“Though his disc with Werner is called Oltreoceano (which translates as “overseas”), it sounds very New York to American ears with Werner playing some of his most adventurous and challenging work in a long while.„
— Jeff Simon - Buffalo News
“Veneziani is a wonderful bass player.„
— Charles L. Latimer - I Dig Jazz
“Repertoire well conceived, musicians in great shape and a vibrant interplay make Oltreoceano a fine work, which reconciles with the formula of the piano trio, too often left at the mercy of clichés and tedious solutions.„
— Roberto Paviglianiti - All About Jazz Italia
“The musical dialogue between Kenny Werner and Andrea Veneziani appears to be very balanced.
The album appears to reflect at its core the spirit of Monk, Evans and Parker.„
— Ferdinand Dupuis - Jazz’Halo
“I must say, Veneziani often, and always appropriately, comes to the forefront, demonstrating his high qualities not only as a composer and band leader, but also as a brilliant bassist. I would emphasize in this program such tunes as the elegant jazz waltz “Twelve Clowns”, the energetic “Bop-Be”, the ballad “Gravity” and the light cut towards today’s almost mandatory latin jazz in the form of the final samba “Shunting Line”. Well, it can be stated that over the years Andrea’s music has won in the depths of musical ideas and has lost nothing in freshness and creativity. I think after listening to The Lighthouse, you will agree with me.„
— Leonid Auskern - Jazz Quad
