Reception

The Guardian's John Fordham rated Tone Poem four stars out of five, noting how the music "evokes the sounds of songs" despite the lack of singers in the tracks.[1] Stuart Nicholson of Jazzwise provided the same writing and similar feedback, as well as praise for the album's "sheer emotional range".[2]
