The Danish newspaper Politiken and the online music journal Seismograf took part of the performance of Blik for Blik at Pakhus11 and the radio program AK 24/7 talked to Niels Rønsholdt about his work.

The critic from Seismograf, Mathias Monrad Møller, describes his experience this way:
“We are pretty excited, actually. It has been an utterly unique, intimate and fascinating experience. Rønsholdt and his team have taken a lot of risks by breaking with common formats and by letting the audience become such a big part of the piece. It is especially the well thought-through and unusually creative experimentations with musical theatre that makes ‘Blik for Blik’ such a special experience.”

Politiken’s Henrik Friis gave Blik for Blik 5 out of 6 hearts with the words:
“I left the performance hall with a mixture of amazement and enthusiasm. ‘Blik for Blik’ was truly different and succesfull. Maybe like a slow meditative mix of traditional Japanese noh-theatre, great Danish circle pedagogy – where everyone has to sing along – and curious minimalistic avant-garde”

In the same article, Friis also reviewed the new opera app Breathless Moment by Rønsholdt & Kleist. It received 4 out of 6 hearts.
