Reception
Tamte Czasy received mainly positive reviews on release. Textura.org reviewed the album positively, calling it "Taken on its own terms, the album's sultry piano serenades and ominous vignettes make for a potent combination." Vital Weekly said of the album "I think Gwozdz delivers a true fine ambient album of great quality." Stephen Fruitman, writing for Cyclic Defrost, stated: ''As a kind of mood primer, Gwóźdź taped cassette hiss over which to record his album. It is just barely discernable and gives his meticulous compositions, combining a variety of acoustic instruments, though most often and prominently the piano, with synthesizers, an enhanced foundation on which to adhere. It´s a very promising debut. It has its bland moments and it droops near the end, but its best tracks, and they are the majority, light up an otherwise dreary vista.''
