“Beaumont has a knack for composing piano music that is pretty and gorgeous and is simultaneously imbued with something deeper and the pieces in this Pacific Northwest set really show off that ability of hers. … It is pretty, it is something you could put on to set the mood if you wanted to, but there is also more going on here. These pieces are imbued with deep thought and reflection and they do really romance the West coast … draw[ing] inspiration from the natural world." 
- Paolo Pietropaolo, CBC Music, CD Review - Enjoy the Journey (2024)

“La pianiste rend honneur à ce répertoire grâce à une technique solide et une interprétation habile des différents langages présents. Elle met en lumière les éléments importants et révèle le relief des lignes ou encore l’unité et la linéarité des pièces malgré des rythmiques changeantes. Le danger d’un tel album est de se laisser bercer et d’oublier que cette musique résulte d’un long travail d’appropriation des rythmes extraeuropéens, mais également de développements complexes à partir d’un matériau simple et minimal. Un album agréable et très accessible.” 
- La Scena Musicale (Montréal), CD Review: Timeless 

"Excellent new record of world premieres, including her own compositions… She plays beautifully on this record, all of it mesmerizing music by contemporary composers. ...This is music that releases you from the shackles of the seconds and the minutes ticking by. It brings you into a reflective place, a meditative place, and quiets the world around you, almost making you forget that such a thing as time exists.  ... a beautiful new record by Rea Beaumont.”   
- CBC Radio, CD Review: Timeless 

“Of particular interest to me is the first track, Beaumont’s own Shattered Ice, which combines compositional prowess with her concern for the environment in an ominous work depicting the fragile ecosystem of the Canadian Arctic and the dangers posed by human intrusion”
