The album received four stars from 8/10 from UNCUT, MusicOMH, Rock n Reel, MOJO, and Record Collector. Other reviewers were even more positive, with All Music Guide (4 ½ stars) praising the "epic, aching songs, which refuse to keep tragedy at arm's length" and Sputnikmusic (superb: 4.5) noting that it "sounds so lush, sweeping, and powerful that all the subtle, intricate melodies are merely the cherry on top." In its five-star "essential" review, Contact Music called the album "exquisitely crafted and utterly beguiling" and recommended that, "The Path of the Clouds … should be listened to, uninterrupted, in its entirety." A North American tour took place in August 2022 and a European tour is scheduled for November 2022.
