Reception

Mark Richard-San of Pitchfork wrote "Nicolai's keen sense of rhythm is the first thing you'll notice about Transform ... While Transform is a solid success on its own terms, the record lacks a certain spark that might push it into greatness. There are no moments of wonder, where you pause and listen closer, straining to understand how something so little could affect you so much. It is possible to achieve the sublime with these limited ingredients (see Ikeda, for one), but Transform is merely good.".[2]
