    This is a deceptively pretty album in which all of the experiments succeed.

    An assured work framed engrossing ideas.

    Don’t Trust Mirrors is the snake’s head and tail: the project’s flash of inspiration and its culmination, the point where Moran lost her passion for the prepared piano and found it again.

    While opening track "Echo In The Field" evokes Laraaji's Day Of Radiance, Moran's compositions here, while still intricately crafted, are more prickly than expansive. Second track "Prism Drift" is tetchy clockwork sprung with piano bass strikes of doom.[Nov 2025, p.63]

    The Balance between deftness and density underpins much of the record, as light and airy as it is atmospheric and tactile. [Feb 2026, p,38]

    Miran deep dives into ambient territory. [Feb 2026, p.102]
