Fiona Sturges of "The Independent" called the show “sublime” and complimented the pairing of Björk and The Brodsky Quartet as “a seemingly unlikely pairing until you take into account the Icelander’s trademark eclectism.” Complementing the orchestral textures of Björk’s original studio albums and her “versatile compositions” – qualities attributed to her training as a classical musician – Sturges was impressed with the use of “something as conventional as a string quartet.” She described the mood at the beginning of the concert as “one of uncertainty… as if (Björk is) frightened of making too much noise” at the Chapel and that the strings seemed “more of an accessory than an integral part of the proceedings”, creating an overall “polite” atmosphere.
