As with the previous releases, Seven Days of Falling offers a mixture of jazz, classical, pop and electronic sounds. Here, too, calm ballads alternate with rock-heavy pieces. According to John Kelman in All About Jazz, est has gradually developed into a significant force in the European (jazz) scene and more into a song form of their pieces comparable to Keith Jarrett or Bill Evans and away from their roots, which are more with Thelonious Monk lying.

Stuart Nicholson compares the sound of the trio to that of Radiohead :

"If you like Radiohead, then you'll get EST. There's a moment on Seven Days of Falling, during the track 'Why She Couldn't Come', where Esbjörn Svensson's piano pauses, Dan Berglund sustains a bass tone and Magnus Öström does a drum fill and you fully expect a Thom Yorke vocal to follow . "

“If you like Radiohead, you will understand EST. There's the moment on 'Seven Days of Falling' during the track 'Why She Couldn't Come', when Esbjörn Svensson's piano pauses, Dan Berglund pulls out a bass note and Magnus Öström hits a drum fill and you expect that Thom Yorke's voice sets in. "

- Esbjörn Svensson

Nicholson seems to be one of the few musicians in the trio who - without betraying their art - can be folksy and avoid the normal inventory of the ordinary jazz musician. ( One of those rare musicians who dispense the common touch without compromising his art, Svensson avoids the usual jazz musician's stock in trade. ).

As a hidden track (around 9:30 by ODRIP ) there is a version of Believe Beleft Below with lyrics, sung by Charlie Haden's son Josh .
