Reception
[edit]Last Sigh called Frozen: A Suite of Winter Songs a "sensitive and deeply moving composition" that's "wonderfully soft and elegant, with a unique flare"[6] Sonic Boom called the album "the most Gothic release produced by this trio, albeit it shares more in common with the Darkwave and Ethereal scenes than true Gothic music due to its lack of guitars."[7]
