Reception

The Allmusic review by Richard S. Ginell awarded the album 3 stars and states "although this music can be attractive in small doses, the lack of tempo or texture contrasts over long stretches of time – particularly the nearly 28-minute "Mirrors" – which can be annoying if you're not in the right blissful mood".
