The Down Beat review by Peter Margasak says "Each member of the quartet has all of the autonomy in the world, but they work marvelously together, shaping a truly collective endeavor."[2]
The All About Jazz review by Glenn Astarita notes "With hustling cadences, energized soloing and all the customary trimmings, the band acutely morphs the improv platform with semi-structured song-forms."[3]
In his review for Point of Departure, John Litweiler says "This quartet’s versatility enveloped in its senses of form shows that the freest kind of Chicago jazz – early Art Ensemble, Braxton, Jenkins – lives on."[4]
