“The first thing to praise with this album is the outstanding artwork laid out as great work of art on a multi panel Digipack. The artwork is truly clever and honestly I cannot think about any artist in the genre of dark ambient that released an album as beautiful as this.” (Chain DLK)
“Presented in a lavishly constructed digipack, along with a twelve page illustrated book (that possess subtle nods towards Crowley and Lynch, especially Mulholland Drive era Lynch), the images set into play a dark journey replete with demonized childhood imagery. … The imagery of Puppetry, Victorian dolls and even an icon from the Twentieth Century all add to the surreal theatre that Simon fleshes through his music and sounds. Such images and broken music boxes, indeed, call to mind the muddied world of Neil Jordan’s The Company of Wolves.” (Compulsion Magazine)
