Allmusic music critic Stephen Eddins wrote "The pastel-colored title track, "The Yelm Sessions", and the pop-sounding Latin dance "Enter the Garden" are lovely, but are a far cry from the dark power characteristic of his most exciting work. The fourth track, though, "Fire in Wind", for orchestra, keyboards, guitar, electric bass, and percussion, inhabits the fearsome soundworld of Kang's more unsettling work, and most of the remaining pieces lead the listener through a number of dark, disturbing places."[2]

gollark: And small changes could make it fold very differently sometimes.
gollark: How? I thought binding and whatever were very sensitive to the particular shape.
gollark: It probably can't fold *that* differently without just not working.
gollark: Weird that everyone suddenly started closing borders *now* given that it's apparently been around and known about somewhat for two weeks or so.
gollark: The report doesn't mention anything about vaccines but the article says they'll keep working, as only ~~one bit~~ some of the spike protein changed.
