"The album contains the producer's most complex, detailed arrangements yet, incorporating sounds of the elements and modular synthesizers into pristinely detailed compositions that progress from near stillness to intense, fractured rhythmic sections. ... Like Ruinism, Amnioverse is an ambitious, striking record that seems to assess the entirety of existence, and it's hard not to feel moved by it".

"On this album, each track is based around a vocal snippet from friends, lovers and ex-partners, the music built around it. Taking inspiration from a photo from the Twilight Epiphany Skyscape installation by James Turrell, Howard comments that the act of waiting - to be somewhere or go somewhere - is what he tried to encapsulate on Amnioverse. With that in mind, his use of spoken word across the album, from past and present intimacies, seems especially poignant in this contex ... it's an album that holds space and drifts in ethereal emotion".

"As we continue to spin through space on this ever-spinning sphere, Lapalux lets loose his roaming electronic symphony: his response to birth, life, death, and all the questions we often ask ourselves as we lay back and gaze at the stars ... As the album winds down with "Esc", we are brought to its inevitable conclusion - the great beyond. It's disorientating, harrowing, yet hopeful - the ending needed to complete the circle. The only thing to do now is go back to the start and enjoy it all over again".

"Engelske Lapalux' nye og fjerde, elektroniske album Amnioverse ... Musikalsk trækkes der ofte på Burials rungende rumfortællinger, men også på mere varme og forsonlige livmødre af lyd. Det kan af og til lyde som en kosmisk udgave af Enya med urbane beats, men også som de kollapsende kosmogrammer fra amerikanske Flying Lotus, der også er Lapalux' pladeselskabsboss ... Et højdepunkt er »Voltaic Acid«. Først en plirrende glasballade, så sublimt synkoperet drum'n'bass, der snart gennembores af vridende acid-bas-ormehuller (...) Et andet højdepunkt er »Thin Air«, hvor sangeren JFDR leverer en svulmende patos, inden summende droner og smældende beats indsætter en orden, som kun findes i vores forestillingsverden - som Amnioverse så stimulerer på saliggørende og mestendels fremragende vis".
