In his review for AllMusic, Charlie Wilmoth states "Shipp plays rich, low-register chords and more acrobatic lines like a slightly more sedate Cecil Taylor."[3] The JazzTimes review by Josef Woodard says that "this music is all about flow, the flow of dialogue and moods between sentient musicians and the flow of music with a decidedly free will."[5]
