    While seemingly a far cry from much of Cole’s early work. It’s clear that despite the pervading neo-classical influence of the record, what it does share with the rest of his canon is a clear, deft understanding of music that can’t be argued against. At a time when much of the world is forced to stay indoors, 'Madrugada' provides a breath of fresh air.

    The term ‘easy listening’ is a little taboo these days, often replaced with the more benign label ‘ambient’, but these ditties represent the former in every meaningful sense.

    This retreat to classical roots is soothing, if a little one-note. [Jul 2020, p.88]

    Just enough texture and colour to lift his affecting compositions above the neo-classical norm. [May 2020, p.104]
