"Despite the album's conceptually dense nature, it never feels remote, even when Káryyn compares her grieving process to the separation of cells on "Cytokinesis" or yearns for a relationship that transcends time over backing vocals that are a stream of ones and zeroes on "Binary." She ends The Quanta Series with one of its most affecting, and direct, statements of purpose: "The Segment and the Line," the first song she wrote for the album, is an equally uplifting and heartbreaking meditation on connections both lost and enduring. Moments like these are so fully realized that The Quanta Series feels more like a summation of Káryyn's powers than an introduction to them, but regardless, it's a stunning debut".
