- "I think that’s the reason for Andino Suns’ popularity. They are a buzz band in the best way a band can be. They are not the mustache toting, guitar tone perfecting, hair over the eyes indie band that I think we’ve all grown bored of. They are different. They are a refreshing, danceable world band that sings about love, life and political issues you probably didn’t know existed. Both their albums are great but for the full experience you need to see them live. You will dance, you will feel alive." Dustan Hlady - Citadel.FM
- "Children of people who fled Chile in the 1970s after Augusto Pinochet came to power, the three members of Andino Suns who traveled from Saskatchewan to Kansas City filled a small conference room with smiles and excited howls.

- “While Andino Suns does incorporate some common musical instruments like guitars, harmonicas and drums, they draw heavily on Chile’s indigenous music.

Then there are the vocals — five-part harmonies, all in Spanish.” Ashley Martin - Leader Post and Star Pheonix
- “When Worlds Collide: A sense of social justice continues to inspire the band's music; its repertoire includes songs that speak in solidarity with the First Nations of Chile, or that speak out against commercial fishers who drive smaller fishermen out of business.” Joel Van Der Veen - FYI - Moose Jaw Times Herald
