Gaffa	[2]

The album received mixed international reviews. While the Sonic Seducer from Germany published a highly positive review praising the band's energy and musical diversity, reviewers from Garmana's home country Sweden were more reluctant. Gaffa wrote that Garmarna's new sound was more reminiscent of the Melodifestivalen than of folktronica, but also pointed at "precious melodies" among the otherwise "uncreative arrangements".[2] However, the reviewer for the Lira magazine noted that 6 was essentially Garmarna's first album that consists mostly of self-written works – if containing less folk elements than previous releases, and that Garmana's habit of creating something new had been continued.[3] These reviews agreed also, that the only constant factor throughout the musical development of Garmarna had been the exceptional vocal quality of singer Emma Härdelin.
