  1. This is probably the most adventurous musical journey of Garnier's life.
  2. Admittedly, not all of Cloud's most ambitious tracks work ou.... But in the end, it's Garnier's ambition, combined with his talent and professionalism, that make this an album worth seeking out.

    Once the headphones are in place, it becomes apparent that the Frenchman has indeed pulled off another masterful work. [Mar 2005, p.111]
  4. There is a feeling of being sucked into a mid-90s vortex here.
  5. A varied and interesting album that is also a bit hit-or-miss.
  6. Under The Radar

    An abrasively divisive record in that you're either going to get down with the sound, or you're going to immediately turn it off. [#9]
  7. Garnier displays an ability to approximate several genres, yet betrays his fellow travelers by failing to infuse any of them with individuality or innovation.

    Excellent departure from Mr. Garniers usual work, a trip through the bizarra and trippy, where AFX meets Dr. Patterson
