"By far the most successful and complete of his trilogy, To See More Light is a masterpiece that organically and coherently blends Stetson's avant-garde playing and dark, complex themes with accessible and compelling compositions that bring a ray of hope not just for the characters in his underlying narrative, but for the future of music." – Exclaim! 10/10
"Stetson is a master of overblowing and multiphonics, which he has finessed to the point where his circular breathing has allowed him to play what sound like several other entirely distinct lines of song. Others frequently achieve this by live sampling and looping, but Stetson insists he doesn't use such techniques, which makes for an extraordinary aural illusionism… The 15 minute 'To See More Light' contains Stetson's most confounding sleight of hand, as he layers up gasping, phlegmatic fanfares over Nautilus-spiralling notes, then produces the real-time effect of slurred tape speed. On 'Hunted' and 'Brute', though, he pushes overblowing into realms previously only accessible with a fuzz pedal, finding timbres in the saxophone's tubing that are rarely brought out. This gives Stetson's sweeter melodies a bitter, eyewatering sting." – The Wire
"The thumping, self-distorted 'Hunted' manages to alternately pull off animal-like and machine-like in the same track. 'High Above a Grey Green Sea' bewitches and reverberates. 'Brute,' as mentioned above, pulses with distortion and a concussive force that could easily be mistaken as heavy metal." – Fluid Radio
"Stetson has ventured into uncharted territory, and the heretofore-unheard sounds that he's brought back are utterly bewitching." – Under The Radar
"Propelled by light-speed arpeggios (e.g., 'Among The Sef (Righteous II)'), Stetson's music often barrels forth with the relentlessness of a runaway train, and its physical robustness makes it feel almost as powerful and unstoppable. Adding to the considerable impression left by the album is the ease with which it freely ranges across styles and genres—soul, folk, experimental, metal, industrial, and gospel (the latter heard most directly in the cover of Washington Phillips' 'What Are They Doing In Heaven Today?') among them. To call it amazing is no exaggeration." – Textura
"The physicality of Stetson's efforts are apparent here. The longest track at 15 minutes, 'To See More Light' is his crowning triumph. Stetson maintains the structure of the piece, building upon his circular breathing to create a hypnotic and trance-like state. About halfway through, he slows the proceedings to produce a heavier vocalization and thumping sound that crests into a zenith of growling energy." – All About Jazz
