He praised the well constructed arrangements and some "epic" lyrics in the title track and "Luminosity". The pair approached the song's lyrical themes in different ways; Davison said Sherwood took on a more "technological and physical" aspect, whereby he looked at it from a metaphysical view.

One Second is Enough” has Steve Howe shredding away in glory, and at key points I think the track even invokes some memories of “Tempus Fugit” off of Drama.

This is a very important album for the band,” says Steve Howe, Yes’ longest serving member, master guitarist, and producer of Mirror to the Sky, the bands 23rd studio album. I don’t know why the new Yes album showed up early in such bizarre fashion, but I like to speculate. There is some nice piano from Geoff later on in this piece and it would have been good to hear more solo keyboard fills.Geoff Downes adds texture with solid keyboards, more Kaye than Wakeman, while Jay Schellen is solid on drums. The title track comes next, and it’s the longest song they’ve written since “Mind Drive” and “That, That Is” in the mid-90s. The downward spiralling guitar riff round about the ‘ice cream’ vocal just doesn’t work for me and its re occurrence in the song spoils the track for me. But let’s be honest, the Downes-Howe collaboration “Living Out Their Dream” is the worst of the six tracks. I really like the entire new album, and hail Steve Howe as one of the legendary aesthetes of progressive rock.
