Critical reception
In Sudden Walks was praised by critics worldwide[vague]. The album was also nominated for best foreign record of 2009 in the Italian Prog Awards, and the band was invited to open that year's edition of Crescendo Prog Rock Festival in Saint-Palais-sur-Mer (France). César Inca of Progarchives stated,"“In Sudden Walks" may have been one of the 5 most accomplished neo-prog albums of 2009. It is a lovely collection of inventive compositions and bold arrangements"[1] while W.A. Fisher said: ""In Sudden Walks," is brilliant! It is symphonic, melodic, ethnic, emotional, well performed, well-engineered and recorded, beautifully sung, and very fresh and new feeling”.[1] Gibraltar Encyclopedia of Progressive Rock also gave the album a positive review stating,.“If I had to sum up In Sudden Walks in a single word, it would have to be "beautiful". [its] perfect, pristine and inventive production that sometimes makes me think I'm listening to an Alan Parsons Project album. I hope for Aisles' sake, it's just accessible enough that they can continue to make albums of this quality. I'll be looking forward to hearing anything these gents come up with. Truly exceptional music. Very highly recommended!".[2]
