"With THE QUANTA SERIES, Káryyn has released a collection of songs that come off gorgeous. But that's not what K Á R Y Y N was shooting for, as she crafted something challenging, mysterious and memorable. Gorgeous was simply a by-product".

"The Syrian American producer lingers with grief and horror on her past while the music accelerates into the future ... Death hangs heavy over the record, but in its shadow, K Á R Y Y N projects herself into the future. An upbeat percussive glitch spurs on "Segment & the Line," shoving her forward even as funereal drones tether her to the past. She does not close the record by allowing its grief and horror to dissipate. She lets them linger but quickens her pace, proving herself capable of carrying their weight".

"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".
