Reflection is the twenty-sixth solo studio album by English musician Brian Eno, released on 1 January 2017 on Warp Records. It is a single piece of ambient music produced by Eno that runs for 54 minutes in length. Released on CD, vinyl, and digital download, a generative version of the album is available as an app that changes the music at different times of the day.
Reflection is an addition to Eno's series of ambient albums. Its structure is similar to that of Thursday Afternoon (1985), an earlier album of his that consists of a single track that runs for 60 minutes in length. Reflection has a length of 54 minutes. Eno decided on its title as the piece "makes [him] think back. It makes me think things over. It seems to create a psychological space that encourages internal conversation. And external ones actually - people seem to enjoy it as the background to their conversations". He considers the work the most sophisticated of all his ambient releases.
On 1 January 2017, an album listening event was held at several Rough Trade shops worldwide. During the event, a "uniquely generated, one-of-a-kind" edition limited to 500 copies were available on CD that contains a signed case sleeve with a booklet.
All tracks written, recorded, and produced by Brian Eno.
Upon release, Reflection received positive reviews from critics.
