"Viktor Krauss’ work on acoustic bass is steady, sympathetic and tasteful…. Structure is his thing, and feel. And he provides the bedrock on which the music is built. On "Far From Enough," his debut as a leader, Krauss displays the kind of skill for which he's admired. He locks in with drummer Steve Jordan to permit guitarists Bill Frisell and Jerry Douglas to play off each other's fragile lines, to look for the hidden corners in his compositions. And when the music goes up-tempo, his playing is sturdy enough to let the guitarists explore."

"I bet that singers love to work with Krauss. His sensibility is such that he leads them gently from chord to chord with his warm and unobtrusive style. His sister, the popular singer Alison Krauss, benefits here from that kind of support on their version of Robert Plant's "Big Log."

"How can you qualify what Viktor Krauss does here? I mean, there's no flash, no pyrotechnics. He merely does what needs to be done, steadying the music, uplifting it, bringing the players together, allowing them to go where they need to. Such a mature approach, such generosity, creates an environment in which creativity thrives. And it does abundantly so on Krauss' debut."
