"As it is, Chiaroscuro is definitely not easy listening and not recommended to those who have suffered any recent emotional trauma -- unless hearing music that exactly reflects your broken mood is the kind of thing that helps rather than sends you weeping into a downward spiral. It is important listening, however, and it contains the kind of songs and performances -- especially Lindén's vocals -- that will make the listener feel something. In a time where many albums seem to exist merely to make a quick splash and then vanish immediately, Chiaroscuro is built to unspool slowly, cut deep, and last a long time." - Tim Sendra, AllMusic
