Mark Richardson, writing for Pitchfork Media, stated that "there are long stretches, particularly in the early going, where it's more of a sound piece than what is usually described as 'music', but the album's second half contains some of Jaar's loveliest tunes."[2] Sasha Geffen, writing for Consequence of Sound, said that given its length, "Pomegranates doesn’t always feel like an album or a soundtrack so much as it feels like an experiment in sculpting time."[3]
