adam greenberg of john bush of allmusic rated "tana tani" 3.5/5 and described it as "...well-performed and crafted, but not necessarily to everyone's taste. martin longley of "bbc music" said, "paban's extended technique allows his voice to soar majestically.." derek of "ethnotechno" said, ""tana tani" is seductive, reels you in with delicate claws and rips away fragments of your being. when you recover, you realize it was excess dissolved, and you emerge with clarity, focused, inspired and content."
