The music critic Steve Moffatt of Limelight praised Trans, remarking that "[Saariaho] skilfully manages a score which never drowns out the harp but preserves the rich orchestral polyphony."[2] Andrew Mellor of Gramophone gave the piece a more lukewarm review, writing, "Saariaho was fascinated by the instrument but her gestural language is relatively small, favouring downward glissandos and cyclic finger-picking," while adding that "[t]he dark corners of the second movement's ('Vanité') orchestral hinterland take us to a more interesting place."[3]
