Reception and release
The release of The Storm received overwhelmingly positive critical reception. Angus Paterson of DJ Mag gave the song an 8/10 rating saying the record was, "A particularly colourful and energetic record from Notaker, that features him in particularly good form, packed with electro melodies, visceral big room energy and knockout broken beat thunder."[3] Robyn Dexter of Dancing Astronaut praised the record for its transcendental experience saying, "The world he’s built within the song’s five-minute length serves as both the calm before the storm and the storm itself."[4]
Chelsea King of Noise Porn described the song saying,"The rhythmic synths and galactic soundbites break into a massive dance anthem. Notaker’s creativity on “The Storm” amazes us once again."[5] Katie Stone from EDM.com wrote, "The gradual build raises the tension until we get to the first drop and he brings in those powerful arpeggios. I even hear a little 80s synths going on as he brings us deeper into the storm. Finally, that last drop takes us on a whole different trajectory into some dark bass goodness. Overall, the song is haunting and captivating. Notaker has perfected the ability to keep the listener on their toes. You never know where he's going to take you. This talent is characterized both by his unique sound design and his ability to immerse fans into his narrative."[6]
