It's every bit as focused and accomplished as anything in Lanois' catalog, and die-hard fans will be wanting more long after the disc winds down.
-
At first blush, Lanois' music is flowery wallpaper, but on repeated listens the colorful textures sink in and evoke a hushed mysticism.

Entertainment Weekly[It's] like the closing music for a very sad rodeo. [22 Jul 2005, p.78]
-
A gorgeous, shimmering 40 minutes of music - a sonic road trip through parts unknown.
-
MojoWhereas Eno's purest ambient music has such an organic abstractness the listener stops thinking about what is actually producing the sounds, Lanois favours guitars, which links his music more to established styles. [Jul 2005, p.110]
-
There are plenty of things left to say and Daniel Lanois has found a way to say them without words.
-
This is Lanois's most accomplished solo recording in a decade, and in its finest moments it even eclipses For the Beauty of Wynona in terms of sheer goosebump-inducing musical soliloquy.
-
A quiet, thoughtful, but never uninteresting album.
-
Belladonna's tracks resemble soundtrack cues designed to capture a specific emotion that words could never quite do justice.
