In a review for Splendid E-zine, Melissa Amos wrote:
The most remarkable aspect of Aura isn't its perfect composition, but the warmth it conveys. While so many of his programmer contemporaries construct tracks like modern building contractors -- all steel and glass and cement -- Sega's work demonstrates a sense of humanity. There's a friendliness to the album's deep textures, something more personal and inviting than we're accustomed to hearing from electronic music.
— Melissa Amos, Splendid E-zine[1]
Andrew Sega incorporated his vocals on some of Aura's songs, a practice which he wasn't previously known for. Ned Kirby of Stromkern contributed vocals in "Accelerating".
Aura appeared at #17 in the June 2004 edition of the French Alternative Charts.[2]
