"Though meditative ambient sounds are outside of both Banhart's and Georgeson's usual wheelhouses, they bring something special to this instrumental conversation that goes above and beyond the average record of droning soundscapes. Refuge sounds composed, thoughtful, and intimate, with reflections on pain, grief, acceptance, and relief coming through in the character of the album's varied atmospheres".

"The songwriter and producer team for a loving, referential collection of new age music that doesn't always color inside the lines ... Though Banhart's strong artistic personality is inevitably suppressed here, he can't keep it down entirely, and Refuge provides expressive takes on a variety of well-worn templates".

"Paraphrasing the oft-quoted Brian Eno, great ambient music must be as ignorable as it is interesting, and basically, the Terry Riley adjacent Georgeson keeps it ignorable while Banhart brings in the melody. The result leaves the listener the way the best ambient music does, comforted, beguiled, and refreshed, and when the disembodied voice finally chimes in on "Sky Burial" it's just enough to pull the listener in for the final stretch".
