  Tides is made up of two distinct sections: the first is a series based around Greek modes that reflect the nature of the Pacific Northwest and was written during a weekly residency in 2021. The second portion is a collection of various piano pieces, including "Looking Glass", a song written as a fundraiser for Twist Out Cancer.

  Editors at AllMusic rated this album 3.5 out of 5 stars, with critic James Christopher Monger writing this album shows Conlee's "most intuitive and enjoyable work to date". Writing for Portland Mercury, Ben Salmon notes that the first half "evokes a sense of melancholy for many people" and characterizes the second half "good companion pieces and nice palette cleansers".
