"Wake:Sleep" is a delicate and charming album that chimes, chirps and bleeps in all of the right places....it shows a musician willing to reach out to the stars and pull something special back.
Boring Machines Disturbs Sleep
"let's be honest, no matter what type of music you listen to, love is always a driving force in all of our lives."
DecoyMusic.com
"sweet, meandering melodies, caught somewhere between sleeping and waking. childrens' voices echo incoherent and lively; electronics, accordian, drums and glockenspiel drift in and out."
The Wire
"Wake: Sleep does capture a combination of energy and lassitude as a phrase, and musically A Lily's debut album is an at-times inspired blend of various strands of ambient and contemplative music...awesome beauty."
All Music Guide
"frankly, one of the better ambient releases I’ve heard this entire decade...There’s endless hours of listening for this - and a track for every mood. Highly Recommended."
