AllMusic     [3]

François Couture of AllMusic gave the album four out of five possible stars, saying "quiet passages abound, textures are more refined, dynamics wider, and the whole thing is more pensive and introspective, without being self-absorbed." Couture concluded by saying "this whole project will go down in history as one of the most original artistic propositions of the 1990s."[3]
