AllMusic[3]

Billboard write that the "tracks all share a certain cinematic scope, which is not unusual for ambient tunes, but Jarre has put a good deal of effort into evoking a pensive, understated, jazz feel that, at times–particularly on “March”–is reminiscent of Miles Davis’ late work." Also added that "he's created a deeply nuanced soundscape that invites repeated listening".[4]

Lorna Palmer from BBC commented that "the album is laced with acoustic instruments (a mix of live playing and samples) placed over a backdrop of seamless ambient electronics and soft trip hop grooves, with chilled jazzy undertones throughout."[5] PopMatters described it as "an enjoyable and very listenable experience."[6] Amy Hanson of AllMusic stated that "Jarre's six-track view of a year is energetic, invigorating, and after-dinner-drink smooth."[3]
