"You’ll be hard pressed to find another album that paints such a perfectly serene environment for listeners in which to lose themselves..."
- Popsense

“Church, with Song Force Crystal, brings a measured and complex delivery.”
- OPB Music

"[Song Force Crystal] is a testament to Church's fully realized aesthetic: a ghostly, vocal-weaving, existential stir through lush, barren, but always pretty worlds."
- Portland Mercury
