"Despite the thumping four-on-the-floor beats that mostly take over the bottom third of the LP, including the dancefloor-lite "Loveless" and "Turin" (both featuring Aura T-09) and the wiggly "Loose" (featuring Christel Well), Karma & Desire never comes close to being a dance record - it's much too opaque and fragile and weird for that. Instead, listeners are left with a longform thinkpiece that's expertly conceived, well executed and brilliantly sequenced".

"Tracks unloading Actress trademarks like clinking and swarming FX ("Diamond X") and fitful kick-drum jabs ("Leaves Against the Sky") are more alluring and welcoming than usual. Six years after he etched a headstone for music, this enigma has made the easiest point of entry into his catalog".

"As usual, Karma & Desire is a sprawling, unpredictable maze of an album, but Actress is no longer a solitary figure navigating rain-streaked streets alone. He's invited others along to zigzag with him. The clouds have cleared and dawn might be on the way".
