Paul Simpson of AllMusic explained the release is "vast and detailed, but there's a rhythmic drive which the listener's mind hooks onto like a cable car." [2] Simpson also went on to say, "Fallen Trees is an excellent example of Melnyk's artful and accessible form of music, which never sacrifices heart for sheer technical ability." Speaking on behalf of Drowned in Sound , Benjamin Bland said, "This, like the other excellent records he has given us since his belated emergence into the global limelight, is a work of quiet - but nonetheless defiant – beauty from a true great of contemporary classical music". [5] Kevin Press of Exclaim! gave the release an 8 out of 10, writing: "At 70, Melnyk is producing some of the most physically demanding work of his career. And he's doing so in front of a bigger audience than he's ever enjoyed. This is a recording of a composer/performer very much at the top of his game." [6]
