Reception
editThe album received mostly positive reviews. Tuonela Magazine described the album “Not all those who wander are lost” – the infamous quote by author J.R.R Tolkien, describes the general idea of the album’s concept. VISIONS OF ATLANTIS’ seventh album offers a fascinating musical and lyrical journey across the untamed seas along a powerful path towards self-discovery". Tuonela Magazine also stated, "Visions of Atlantis have managed to create beautiful melodies, carried by the amazing duets between Clémentine Delauney and Michele Guaitoli. “Wanderers” offers the listener an atmospheric journey, with its grand orchestrations, and magical soundscapes. The band has managed to create an album which contains very diverse tracks, that works well as a whole."[2]
