"One of my favorite albums of the year. Great, great stuff all the way through. ...Just as strong as Neil's other releases. Terrific guitarist."

"Neil is an amazing guitarist."

"I'm very much impressed by what I hear on A Call To The Wild... Obviously Rambaldi is a great guitar player that can shred with lightning speed, but he does not use his music as a vehicle that allows him to showcase his technical abilities. His emphasis is more on the melody, not just on prowess. References can be made with great Blues Rock guitarists like Joe Bonamassa, Jeff Beck or Stevie Ray Vaughan, but his playing style is quite unique... He even sings (very well) on one track... One thing that really got me hooked on A Call To The Wild is that Rambaldi inserts a good number of pieces in a "Non Blues Rock" style; Latin Rock, Spanish guitar... Luckily he manages to do this without breaking the general mood of his album. A Call To The Wild is an excellent album that is good from beginning to end. Highly recommended indeed." From Facebook @ProGGnosis: "Fans of Jeff Beck, Joe Bonamassa... this album should really interest you."

"Much more than just an instrumental guitar-oriented album... Neil Rambaldi not only has all the chops, but the songwriting skills to match them every step of the way. Highly recommended. While his technique is still quite stellar, evident by the acrobatic riffs & solos on the upbeat rocker "When the Days Were Young", it's his sense of emotion on the dramatic "The Day The Tides Stood Still", the Latin jazz & flamenco flavors of "Mi Corazon", and the gorgeous classical strains of "And the Sun Goes Down..." that reveals all the tools in his arsenal. Of course, plenty of gritty hard rockers to be found, such as the molten funk of "Everything You Say", the driving blues-meets-Middle Eastern tones of "Shadow Armada", and the feisty shred of "Wild Seed", each one a sizzling vehicle for Rambaldi's serious chops of doom. ...The songs here contain a wealth of variety, tones, textures, and colors... ...Can't-miss melody. ...Incredible lead guitar! ...Scorching lead guitar solos."

"It's fantastic. This guy is a monster player, but what I really like about this album... Yes, there are a handful of hard rock tunes with some jaw-dropping lead guitar work and musical virtuosity, (but) there is flamenco on here, some classical stuff, little bits of funk, little bits of jazz -- very tasty playing -- very emotional playing -- some great melodies. He's a great guitar player, but he also can write some really good tunes and he knows how to cross different genres and really mix it up a bit. ...I highly recommend you check this out and get your hands on it if you like instrumental guitar music. He's a guy that deserves to be heard by the masses. Lion Music and all the guitar labels out there -- check this guy out. I think he is well deserving of finding a spot on one of your rosters. I really do."
