9.0 | PopMatters

An excellent addition to the Alcest’s already prodigious output, and it establishes itself early on as one of 2012’s finest metal releases

9.0 | The Quietus

Voyages is not the best Alcest album and yet it is a great album, which makes Alcest a truly great band. Even at a time when so many of those are forming within the black metal idiom, Alcest stand alone. Greatness is their new standard

6.9 | Pitchfork

There's no denying the beauty, but it feels weirdly muted

6.6 | Beats Per Minute

It’s hard to listen to Lune and Voyages and not feel as though Alcest has made a wrong turn. There’s much to cherish here, but this isn’t a complete effort

6.0 | No Ripcord

It's particularly dispiriting how some of the more intentionally majestic moments leave you wilted instead of giving you a rush of adrenaline. There’s a lot in here that brims with life but, somehow, it never quite unfolds
