"Elegant from the first minute to its 70th, Ojalá is an essential album for fans of Raymonde-affiliated projects like Snowbird and This Mortal Coil, and is among his and the year-in-indie's most exquisite works".

"Less ethereal and opaque than This Mortal Coil, but more visceral, emotive and direct. Ojalá is laced with a cohesive musicianship built around Thomas's palette of jazzy, sparse and spacious dub-reggae percussion, and complemented by Raymonde's more sympathetic treatments, fleshed out by strings, angelic harmonics and clipped and shimmering guitar/piano chords. This is a diverse collection of quality melancholia by two intuitive veterans with nothing to prove except their ability to create music to invest your soul into".

"The proliferation of similar-sounding female vocalists means there is a sometimes overbearing "ethereal pop" tone, but the tracklist is given the odd shot of adrenaline by Raymonde's impressive basslines and Thomas's jazzy drumming style, best heard on the jittery groove of Asphyxia. A cluttered canvas on paper, perhaps - but the duo's experience allows them to distil what works best on record".
