Reviews note his interest in pedal steel and ambient instrumental work.

Reviews portray Daniel Lanois as a celebrated producer who also records solo work. Acadie is praised as a solo masterpiece blending roots and ambient textures. Belladonna is described as an instrumental ambient meditation. Shine and For The Beauty Of Wynona receive mixed-to-positive appraisals.

For:Fans of producer-driven records, ambient and roots-influenced music, and listeners who value production detail.

 "I wanted a record of popular songs but also of unusual, mysterious music, of snapshots and minor pieces, and some psychedelic instrumentals that would take the listener on a journey. I find it beautiful when you can elevate the spirit of others, and so I wanted to provide an outlet for imagination."

 All this to explain that "Belladonna" is one of his entirely instrumental works, classifiable within, albeit with the peculiarities of the character, ambient music.
