    The album isn’t easily chewed or digested, but certainly worth the taste.

    The music here is beautiful and involving enough to stand up just fine by itself. [Mar 2014, p.59]

    Estoile Naiant is a work of excessive indirection and wonder that becomes terrifying only if you try to define its boundaries. [May 2014, p.90]

    Estoile Naiant works as a satisfying continuation of patten's work, albeit one that moves his sound in a sideways direction.

    Admittedly, there's a lack of shock here, but plenty of awe. [Mar 2014, p.119]

    The net result of the half-thoughts that make up the patten mythos throw the music into a certain light, depending on how it's received.

    As a whole, demanding of patience. [Apr 2014, p.78]
