Reception
Dom Lawson of Louder wrote: "The Yum Yum Tree is probably perceived by its creators as a distinct and unique work within their alarmingly vast catalogue. To the rest of us, regardless of recreational drug intake, recent or otherwise, these eight beautifully played experiments in sonic pupil dilation could easily have been outtakes from any of the band’s countless past albums."[4] Glenn Astarita of All About Jazz stated: "Ozric's music resonates—it's largely about sparkling and multicolored psychedelics, complete with MIDI-vibes and a few ethereal segments, sometimes abetted by notions of weightlessness."[1]
