"Robert Oriol's original music, from the atonal to the polka-flavored ranchero, sets just the right mood for the playwright's quixotic examination of the subconscious of the bar's owner, Wilfredo, nicely played by John Horn as a man with a flashing ego and a colorful vision of his little world, which may or may not be a valid entity, along with the two gold coins that he calls his "bueno" and obsess him more than somewhat." - Backstage, May 2002
"The sets, lights and music of Jeffrey Atherton, Rand Ryan and Robert Oriol, respectively, provide a proper surrealistic aura to the proceedings." - Variety, May 2002
"Jangling guitar riffs, pools of lurid light and a neat wooden arena of a set (by respective designers Robert Oriol, Rand Ryan and Jeffrey Atherton) establish a focused moment in time, even if that moment is pretty damned hallucinatory." - LA Weekly, May 2002
