On his official website, Vollenweider says: "The making of 'White Winds' was like a creative harvest time.[1] Reactions from the 'outside world' had made us more confident and more courageous, but also a bit looser. Even the song title of 'Flight Feet & Root Hands' mirrors our frame of mind: freely 'flying' feet - and our hands firmly rooted in the earth."

Musician reviewer J. D. Considine wrote: "Don't call this 'mood music' unless you consider sleep a mood."[2]
