"Though the title may suggest otherwise, Empty is anything but a hollow affair; instead it's a gentle experience that wants to provide peace in these times of anxiety and uncertainty. It shows Frahm at his most intimate and minimal, and further achieves his goal in showing the resonant power of the piano".
"Frahm's use of atmospheric treatments makes his sparse arrangements sound full as he marinates the ambient soundscapes with layered, harmonious pleasures. But these are less shadowy and textural sonic soundscapes as they are more meditative and bare, with most well suited for a film soundtrack or as background music. Empty shows off Frahm's propensity for creating moods with dulcet tones as the enchanting instrumental pieces never stray too far into the nebulous stratosphere and act as soothing ambient backdrops that will leave listeners feeling anything but empty".
