In the NZ Herald, Graham Reid said

Another low-key ambient outing with a Cloudboy connection: Hummel is the album and nom de disque of Andy Cummins who has toured with Cloudboy as a vocalist but, as with Contag, has a private life in the quiet zone. Plucked guitars, barely audible vocal sounds, a few emotionally intense folk-styled songs scattered around, spoken poetry, small sonic landscapes etched in the background.

Chris Long of Rip It Up said,

Andy Cummins, a recent contributor to Cloudboy’s live performances, has released a haunting, and exciting album in hummel. The album flirts with hard-edged ambience, with some sparsely employed singer/songwriter style acoustic guitar and vocals, to shake things up. Definitely recommended.
