About solo-album 'Wait'
Coen de Jonge, Jazzism
His music is full of suspense, withheld resilience and the guts to use silence in a functional way
Johan Bakker, Nederlands Dagblad
Van Vliet impressively allows silence into his music, through which the music gains eloquence
Mischa Andriessen, Trouw
This is not a pianist sliding his hand over the keyboard, here's someone who plays cautiously, as a result the emotional impact and imagination flourishes.
Rinus van der Heijden, www.jazzenzo.nl
Van Vliet is one of these rare talented artists who can clarify musical character.

About the Sikeda-concert / Composition Assignment, North Sea Jazz Festival 2008
Amanda Kuyper, NRC Handelsblad
Impressive was also Jeroen van Vliet. He had with his composition assignment explicitly looked for adventure.
Frank van Herk, Koen Schouten, De Volkskrant
.... pianist Jeroen van Vliet with his sextet evoked a lot more. He used repetitive structures, almost silent ambient and floating layers, with a sense for adventure and truly surprising sounds.
Tim Sprangers, www.jazzenzo.nl
The opening of the festival was promising. Although it was a composition assignment, van Vliet had written down only little, but the pieces were powerful, lively and very fresh.
Maarten van de Ven, www.draaiomjeoren.nl
The closer [ of the NSJF] was again a proof that with Jeroen van Vliet nothing is as it seems. The festival couldn't have had a better opening...

The Poet & Other Tales is a beautiful album of one of Holland's most interesting piano-players being around at this moment

Peter J. Korten, www.jazzflits.nl
The trio works very natural as a group . In Love Song Jeroen van Vliet shows that simplicity can be beautiful and moving. Edison-worthy.

Nach 60 Minuten weiss man, was Shönheit in der improvisierten Musik bedeutet...

About 'Red Sun' by Jeroen van Vliet Trio

Franc Craanen, Avant Garde
His playing is elevated, present, but never intrusive. He is modest but that is also his strength. It makes ”Red Sun” the perfect soundtrack for an interesting movie
Rinus van der Heijden, Brabants Dagblad
Red Sun is a jewel of an album and a new step in the development of the gifted pianist Jeroen van Vliet
Hans Gulpen, Gelders Dagblad
Red Sun is a perfect mix of running and hold still, of introspection and swing: true jazz. From three excellent musicians

About solo-album ‘Who’s Afraid’

Frank van Herk, De Volkskrant
Van Vliet constantly convinces with great control of timing and sound and beautiful, subtle played melodic lines
Gwen Ansell, Mail & Guardian South Africa
An hour of fragile beautiful stuff - who cares about genre?
Bart van Ratingen, Jazz Magazine
Van Vliet produces beautiful weighed miniatures, a kind of musical haiku’s – quiet and lyrical
Rinus van der Heijden, Brabants Dagblad (about solo concert Paradox Tilburg)
With his silent moments, his way to use suspense, the alternation of melody and rhythm and the logic of his harmony, Van Vliet is an important figure within the Dutch improvising music scene.

About 'En Blanc et Noir' by Jeroen van Vliet, Michael Moore and Eric van der Westen
Edo Dijksterhuis, NRC Handelsblad
The pianist has a remarkable shaded touché, and shows that it not only matters when to pull the keys down but also when to let them go.
