In a review for AllMusic, John Dougan called the album "a reserved outing that blends repetitive chords with an arrhythmic rhythm section," and noted that the musicians often "successfully experiment with subtle repetition in what turn out to be almost mantra-like improvised passages." [4]
John Corbett of the Chicago Reader wrote that "the Fushitsusha of Allegorical Misunderstanding (Avant) is the sparer, less slashing version, in which [guitarist Keiji] Haino sometimes acquires the scattershot phrasing of James 'Blood' Ulmer." [5]
A writer for Arcane Candy stated that, despite "the absence of Haino's massive realms of guitar effects and distortion," the album "still maintains the quintessential air of cyclical intensity of all Fushitsusha efforts." [6]
The album was re-released in 1999 under the same label.
