The All About Jazz review by John Sharpe states "For those who make the effort Mitchell creates a raft of strange and mesmerizing soundscapes, but the journey may be too daunting for the casual listener." [1]
The Point of Departure review by Michael Rosenstein says "In lesser hands, this could easily devolve into episodic dalliance. But, the three maintain a collective focus throughout." [2]
