Reception

'' The Guardian'' review by John Fordham awarded the album 4 stars. The All About Jazz reviewer John Kelman stated:

Gustavsen continues to be a marvel of economical invention, a player who speaks little but says much. ''Restored, Returned'' is a logical extension/expansion on his previous ECM releases, as his nuanced, tender playing eschews stereotypical references to Norwegian music as icy or cool, even as "The Way In" cinematically traverses imaginary bodies of water explored regularly by pianist Ketil Bjørnstad. But with more colors at his disposal and a greater attention to song form—even as the result feels somehow freer—Gustavsen has shaped an album even more appealing in its subtle but unmistakable experimentation ref name=allaboutjazz/>
