AllMusic Review
Truth of Touch was Yanni's first album of new studio material since 2003’s Ethnicity, with Yanni said to be "returning to his instrumental roots". In contrast to the vocal-centric of Yanni Voices (2009), Truth of Touch is a largely instrumental album, and was said to constitute a "return to form" for Yanni, referring to his mid-1990s musical style. The album was said to include cinematic elements, with smooth jazz and tribal rhythms.

gollark: I see.
gollark: Also, could we have a machine-readable GEORGElist somewhere?
gollark: We could use referers to send some sort of "unverified GEORGEsite™" label on sites embedding it without being part of the ring.
gollark: Content-Security-Policy frame-ancestors.
gollark: We could also deploy secret Council web crawlers monitoring enGEORGED pages for keywords?
