"Far less minimalist than Ágætis byrjun, but still calm, wintery and atmospheric post rock with a darker side to it and building slowly to a crescendo in the last tracks. Great from start to finish even with some repetitiveness." (bartyMJ, A, )
"Another highlight of islandic post rockers Sigur Rós. A beautiful winter album, sad, but beautiful. Highlights: Popplagið, Vaka, Alafoss... Lowlights: none." (Carpetcrawler, S, )
