06.2021 review at Vital Weekly (link, English)
"What ‘Mother of Millions’ does really well is a showcase that Reber is progressing in his craft. He isn’t standing still, he’s trying to push himself, and us, to hitherto uncharted places. It also helps that the synth work is glorious and the melodies he creates are captivating."

05.2021 review at Babyblaue Prog-Reviews (link, Deutsch)
"Hier gibt es progressive Elektronik in Reinform auf die Ohren, wobei die Musik aber nie zu verkopft, schräg oder unnahbar ausgefallen ist. ... Kern des Albums ist das eben erwähnte "Ending II", das sperrig zischend und knatternd, sich langsam steigernd dem mächtigen Höhepunkt entgegen treibt. ... Kurzum, ein sehr starkes Album."
