Jonathan Widran of AllMusic, in a 4/5 star review exclaimed, "Matsui fanatics will no doubt be jumping all over maps of her homeland looking for a place called "Akendora," but it's a place of her own creation, where she runs to spend contemplative moments and find peace. Wherever it is, fans of her jazzier side are going to love this collection...Unlike most releases categorized as smooth jazz, this is infused throughout with Matsui's unexpected creative textures."[3]
