Allmusic[2]

Allmusic critic François Couture found Vrtacek's work to be "very aerial" and that "one can't help but think of Steve Hackett's Bay of Kings: simple songs with beautiful melodies." He gave Silent Heaven three out of five stars, noting that "some will perceive it as lacking sustenance, but it is refreshing to hear Vrtacek away from the surf guitar licks."[2]
