Reception
Norway's Scream Magazine gave a 5 out of 6 score to All, calling it a "demonstration of might", with its "excesses" and loosening of all inhibitions. Locating All in a record store would be "finding gold".[2] Powermetal.de's reviewer found All captivating, both in its songwriting and soundscape, so as to make the listener lose "track of when one track ended and the next began".[3] Ox-Fanzine also wrote a positive review, though noting that "All shouldn't be listened to casually; it's an album you should take your time with".[4]
Vampster found "psychedelic journeys with countless intricate flourishes and wild, progressive whims, jazzy abstract elements that will delight any 70s psychedelic/krautrock fan, and precisely crafted arrangements for the mind's eye". Still, Colour Haze did not overwhelmingly drift into hippie territory, owing to their "subtle nonchalance" and "laid-back coolness".[5]
Metal.de were more reserved, scoring the album 6 out of 10. The album had a "limited rock potential" and was not recommended for "those who prefer raw, unpolished US stoner rock".[6]
