"Den i Los Angeles bosiddende 45-årige brite arbejder med electronica på en åben og tilgængelig måde, der inviterer de fleste, som holder af stemningsmættede lydlandskaber, med indenfor ... tonen [er] overvejende optimistisk og livsbekræftende, selvom en vis melankoli melder sig, ikke mindst på det vemodige »From You« med Joji som vokalist. Andre gæstesangere er Jamila Woods og Kadhja Bonet, men pladens clou er det smertende smukke instrumentalnummer »Elysian«".

"'Fragments', created when [Bonobo] was stranded in California during lockdown last year, shows how much the 45-year-old has evolved in the last two decades, maturing into a sensitive, multi-dimensional artist whose studio craftsmanship is exquisite. Sonically, there's much to admire, from the pulsing Detroit-influenced dance beats of the Jordan Rakei-fronted "Shadows" (...) to the jazz-infused "Day By Day" spotlighting Kadhja Bonet's ethereal pipes".
