In a 75/100 review, Secret Meaning said of the instrumentals "Everything seems to happen in its own time, at the right time", while praising Ramani's voice.[3] Sputnik Music described "The sound is so ethereal, so dreamy, it gives the listener a sense of unreality. It's as if you heard these songs while dreaming in a deep sleep, and you try to remember them after you've woken up."[4]
