"Teebs expands his emotional palette to include more varied and distinctive moods that still feel related and organic; the way "NY, Pt. 2"'s nocturnal cityscape melts into the lush exotica of "Mondaze" is one of Estara's subtlest but most entrancing highlights. Even with all of this growth, Teebs' music remains just as lovely and soothing as it was on Ardour, particularly on the shimmering opening track "The Endless" and "NY, Pt. 1." Instead, his newfound control on Estara makes the flowing sounds and uplifting moods that distinguish him within the beat music scene all the more expressive".
