In JazzTimes , John Murph wrote: "Microtonal master, Joe Maneri upholds free jazz’s basic principles in the highest regards by foregoing annotated compositions, which forces his musicians to rely on intuitive improvisation and group empathy. As Coming Down The Mountain attests, the results can be surprisingly tranquil, especially when the musicians opt for silence and elongated contours instead of the usual bag of overpowering dissonance ... Coming Down The Mountain is yet another fine recording by Maneri". [4]
