Critical reception
Profound Mysteries III received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 71, based on 5 reviews. Sebas E. Alonso of Jenesaispop praised "the fact that [Röyksopp] offers us something different in this storm of overwhelming news that the music world has become every Friday." Bernt Erik Pedersen of Dagsavisen described the tracks of the album as going "from dramatic heights to quiet introspection, from the low whispering to the grandly symphonic, with both orchestral strings and sweeping synth strings. At the same time, there is light and dewy synthpop [...] with Astrid S on Just Wanted To Know." ==Track listing==
