"Album of the week" - "Arnalds delivers a unique serenity ... This album, Arnalds fifth, was recorded at his harbour-based studio in downtown Reykjavik, and offers up a more reflective and introspective theme than we've heard from the multi-instrumentalist previously. His trademark sound, a melding together of ambient electronic music with classical strings and piano, remains at the forefront, however".

"'some kind of peace' is an album of sparkling sincerity. It offers solace to the isolated, welcoming arms to the world-weary, and, above all, creates hope for the future. It's a romantic album in a way that Arnalds most recent work would have almost turned its nose up at ... The art work and overall feel of the compositions may speak to a chilly, typically Nordic solitude, while the music of this record is anything but. A late year treasure that shouldn't be overlooked, it is as timely as it is timeless, and as needed now as any musical work of the last year or so".
