"Almost 70 minutes long, this beautiful album segues and weaves obscure electronica, modern folk, Balearic and tunes influenced by classical music together in one long, gloriously blissful work of art.... If you're looking for the ultimate chill-out album, this is probably it. Better than Prozac at any rate."
- Olaf Tyransen, Hot Press, 4/5
"As a snapshot of a number of current global trends, this is a great primer. As a listening experience in and of itself, it's continually surprising, evocative and beautiful. As an advertisement for the An Taobh Tuathail radio program, well, it's already got me interested ..."
- Adrian Elmer, cyclicdefrost
"... this compilation's strength comes from the cohesion and composure of the track selection. The ties that bind Chequerboard to Cane 141, Boxcutter to Murcof, or Colleen to L Pierre are made all the more obvious in this context. An Taobh Tuathail Volume II, then, is a compilation forging a naturally blissful sort of sonic alliance."
- Jim Carroll, The Irish Times, 4/5
"From the gently ebbing quasi-classical drone-core of Paris's Colleen to the twinkling cinematic pop of Dublin-based Chequerboard, the tone is hushed and ethereal... ideal for anyone seeking to embark on a cosmic trip from the comfort of their living room."
- Eamon de Paor, Metro, 4/5
"... the selections represent a more-than-solid, seventy-minute roundup of high-grade electronic artistry."
