Wild Strawberries (album)

[6] Editors at AllMusic rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, with critic Fred Thomas writing that "there's a grainy, relaxed feeling that runs throughout the massive album, one where just eight tracks stretch out infinitely in a web of sounds somewhere between the woodsy womb of the remote cabin and the cold, unknown reaches of space", further opining that "the jams on Wild Strawberries are more considered and inspired than any of Eternal Tapestry's previous work, and present the most cohesive picture of their long, strange progression".

[7] Writing for Blurt, Michael Toland scored this work 3 out of 5 stars, characterizing the music as "mixing burbling synthesizers and meandering guitars with a lack of rhythm and a laidback vibe" to make "a workable nexus between cosmic and pastoral".

[8] Editors at Pitchfork scored this release 6.2 out of 10 and critic Nick Nyeland characterized this as "a set of cosmic music with an earthy tone, slowly ricocheting between the stars and the ground" and continued that while not all songs coalesce, "it's still intermittently impressive how they manage to zone in on a sharp piece of mystical riffing or lay out on an elegant ambient plane".

[10] Sophie Cooper of The Quietus called Wild Strawberries "a more relaxed approach" than previous Eternal Tapestry releases, where "things stay fairly mellow throughout, providing a pleasant but not especially engaging listen", making for "an enjoyable record and there are some interesting moments, it’s just that the overall sound sort of politely hangs in the background with not much cutting through the haze".

[11] Matt B. Weir of Tiny Mixtapes scored this work a 2.5 out of 5, stating that "the best thing to know about Wild Strawberries is that, unlike much of the other Eternal Tapestry music I’ve heard, this one has a lot of yummy, tasty, Popol Vuh-ian, synth-led dreamscape psyche... [with the] second disc... often a wash of electronic pulses, keyboards, diving guitar lines, and cascading rhythms that coalesce into something greater than the sum of their parts", but continuing that the last first two long jams drag on, making the album "feel... awkwardly escapist, and the listener is reminded that the whole disc actually feels rather laid-back".
