"Balmorhea's major-label debut is appropriately one of their most accessible efforts, but it's also one of their most intimate, and just as expressive and evocative as the rest of their body of work".

"Balmorhea draw a line back in the tradition to the much-missed Louisville, KY outfit Rachel's, who opted to take an idea and use whichever instrumental mix they found brought out the best of what they wished to convey. And The Wind roams freely and with precision across a spectrum from formal classical through a more pastoral take on the form and all the way out to ambient experimentalism, spoken word, found sound, with a unity and cohesion. It's just a lovely, thoughtful record; complex in its simplicity".

"Balmorhea have successfully returned to their roots as a two-piece. The end result is a superb collection of minimalist post-classical music. Twelve exquisite compositions, augmented by the well thought out collaborations. The way in which they have utilised the voices on the album is particularly innovative and if there's one thing that stays with me every time I listen to this record it is the band's incredible use of textures and space ... A genuinely beautiful and intelligent record".
