==AllMusic Review== ''Truth of Touch'' was Yanni's first album of new studio material since 2003's ''Ethnicity,'' with Yanni said to be "returning to his instrumental roots". In contrast to the vocal-centric of ''Yanni Voices'' (2009), ''Truth of Touch'' is a largely instrumental album, and was said to constitute a "return to form" for Yanni, referring to his mid-1990s musical style. The album was said to include cinematic elements, with smooth jazz and tribal rhythms.
