Two DeBaser reviews praise Dhafer Youssef's oud playing and vocal style, highlighting the jazz–Middle Eastern fusion on Abu Nawas Rhapsody and the desert atmosphere of Malak. Reviewers emphasize strong collaborations (Tigran Hamasyan, Mark Guiliana, Renaud Garcia-Fons, Markus Stockhausen) and the album arrangements. Abu Nawas Rhapsody is described as a 'marvel.'

For:Listeners of jazz and world music, fans of oud and Middle Eastern-influenced fusion.

 This work, which lasts about an hour, is literally a marvel.

 It is not a compilation album, it is a story to experience on the couch on a cold evening, an escape from the incipient winter to immerse oneself in a desert atmosphere, where there is nothing around.
