The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow stated "Not only do the musicians tackle a dozen of Braxton's complicated originals, but during part of four of them, individual members are assigned the task of playing a different composition than the rest of the group. Obviously this is not music to be taken lightly or merely played in the background. However, listeners with the time and interest will find much to enjoy in the very lively explorations from these masterful musicians".[3] Another by Thom Jurek said "In all, this double-disc set shows how wide-ranging the Braxton Quartet could be, and how these stellar musicians transformed avant-garde ensemble playing in America, if not the world over".[4]
