    His gently intense third album is sometimes breathtaking in its melancholy sweep and songwriting skill, and always absorbing. [Mar 2013, p.96]

    The Waiting Room hangs together as an affecting portrait of electronic music’s possibilities.

    In effect, McIlwain has succeeded in making not only a great record, but also a thoroughly lovely one.

    While McIlwain is operating within more rigid structures, another hangover from his ambient productions is that he can sometimes sound a bit directionless.
