==Critical reception==
''Ihmisten edessä'' was well received by music critics, as most of the reviewers complimented the audacious use of musical elements and styles and Vartiainen's nuanced vocals and interpretation. The critics also noted Vartiainen's stylistic departure from her previous pop band Gimmel. Writing for ''Helsingin Sanomat'', Ilkka Mattila gave ''Ihmisten edessä'' four out of five stars, saying the debut album was a "precedent" in the Finnish pop of the 2000s as it showed how Vartiainen "seriously tries to get rid of a talent show star's role". Mattila considered "Tunnoton" with its "captivating banjo and folk ambience" one of the best Finnish pop songs of the year and "Ihmisten edessä" "British-spirited, melancholic gay disco with all the hooks". ''Helsingin Sanomat'' praised Vartiainen's intimate interpretation as the core of the music. Noting a little R&B-esque singing popular on talent shows, Mattila went on to say the record is "commercial though amibitious and, therefore, pleasurable pop". Mattila credited producer and composer Jukka Immonen for "fearlessly using unfashionable special effects such as Soul II Soul-like comping and synthetic choirs".〔 Kirsi Taivainen from ''Keskisuomalainen'' gave the album four out of five stars alike, saying the album is "balanced, hued, poppish music" that is "not too calculated for being genuine". Noting old synthpop sounds and tiny musical elements, she considered the "finely-mixed album strongly contemporary". Giving credits to the bass and drums synchronizing the songs with a back rhythm, Taivainen complimented Vartiainen's "developed vocals with a range of delicate nuances" for "not being mainstream".〔
The pop rock magazine ''Stara'' went further by considering the album worth five out of five stars. The magazine denounced the opening act "Tuhannet mun kasvot" as "a cacophonous, lousy fiddle", though it thanked "Ihmisten edessä", the following, "extremely beautiful piano track", for "saving the mood". ''Stara'' considered "Kerro miltä se tuntuu" as well as "Toinen" evocative of a couple of international lounge hits. The magazine pointed out the "surprising" banjo hook of "Tunnoton" and considered "Malja" an "entertaining, eccentric mix of electronic music and pop from late 1970s and early 1980s". The magazine believed "Mustaa kahvia" could have some potential to become a hit due to its "tough funk beat and electro influences". ''Stara'' highlighted the "groovy and catchy" "Elämänperhonen" with its "beautifully catchy synth-violin solo" and the "overly elegant" "Mandartania" with its "Massive Attack-style jingle" as the best tracks of the album. In conclusion, ''Stara'' complimented Jukka Immonen, with his "ear for sounds", for creating "an exceptionally elegant Finnish album" which is "world-class by all its components"—excepting the first track.〔
