Rolling Stone , "It’s an album where Labrinth has been uncompromising in his grand vision and delivered something that sounds all the better for it." [3]

Billboard , "With his latest album, Cosmic Opera ACT I, he fuses orchestral elements with his more expected futuristic production, resulting in what has been coined as a “modern opera." [4]
