Sitarist Anoushka Shankar commented to the New York Times about this album: "I didn't know 'Vol. 5: Anatomic' (Real World) until a couple days ago, but I really took to it. I love the way it very smoothly moves between genres, West African and Celtic music, but within that the transitions are incredibly smooth. Some of it's very funky and psychedelic and some of it's very romantic. I noticed that within the songs they tend to transition -- it starts as a pretty song, and then switches into a funky groove, deep bass. 'My Secret Bliss' is very romantic, the duet is quite moving and sweet" ("Playlist: Global Beats with a Sanskrit Prayer or a British Flair," 3/26/06).
