Aggregate customer ratings are broadly favourable, with most ratings in the four- and five-star categories, but a smaller share are one- or two-star. Without customer comments, the ratings do not show what listeners liked or disliked. The Swedish language and unabridged 10-hour 13-minute length are useful fit checks, but cannot explain the spread of opinions.
