The album version of the track does not have drum accompaniment and portrays an ambient song. It does not have "Homogenic"'s characteristic electronic beats, focusing instead on " an intimacy between the growing dynamics of the instrumentation and Bjork's impressive vocal abilities." It uses a long reverb, which results in a wash of sound that suggests a very large space suggestive of the "heavenly" environment Björk envisaged for the track. According to Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine, the song has a soft pulse with intervals that build up to an electronic orchestration of industrial beats. David Browne of "Entertainment Weekly" called it a "moony lullaby" and compared it to the music of Enya. In his review for "Spin", James Hunter wrote that the track is one of the times Björk "dips her toe into the warm lake of tradition" and noted its "rockish minor-key verses traipse off into her gospel."
