"Artful, delicate, and mesmerizing throughout, the album's subtle, gradual suspense may find some straining not to miss a moment".

"[Karima] Walker [står] selv for al den guitar, synthesizer, klaver, percussion, samt de båndloops og feltoptagelser, der tilsammen skaber pladens ensomme skønhed ... Det er, som om sangene på Waking the Dreaming Body hviler i sig selv. De besidder en ro, der smitter, når jeg lytter med. Walkers tempo er søvnigt, kompositionerne eftertænksomt monotone og abstrakte. Hendes vokal er blid og drømmende og drives frem af hendes varme, mørke akustiske guitar ... på en særegen måde forener hun singersongwriterstilens akustiske tradition med dronelyde, loopede glitch og andre tricks fra den elektroniske musik".

"A sound designer with a sweetly forlorn voice (...), [Walker] launches her own compositions from a vaguely Americana singer-songwriter base and extrapolates via dreamily harmonic arrangements of synth, guitar, field recordings and piano. The title of her new album (which she wrote, recorded, produced and performed almost entirely solo) describes its woozy pull, whether on flickering opener "reconstellated" or the 13-minute synth-drone piece "Horizon, Harbor Resonance"".
