Reception
[edit | edit source]The Guardian reviewer Stuart Nicholson, who awarded the album 5 stars, stated, "Melancholia is marvellous—and quiet."[1]
The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos awarded the album 3½ stars, stating, "Gustavsen, while playing laid-back, pristine, pretty, and serene music, is far from challenging convention or pushing the envelope. Conversely, his personal voice is fully realized. Time will tell whether this style finds a worldwide audience, moves away from this type of contemporary texture music, or takes the approach he has established to any more extreme measures, even softer or more forceful."[2]
