Reception

In a review for All About Jazz , Helmut Koch called the recording "an excellent crossover album at the fringe of jazz, fusion, avant-garde prog-rock and their numerous sub-genres," and wrote: "Delete and Roll is out and out off-mainstream, an interesting and adventurous amalgam of various musical influences and a brave statement of non-conformist creativity in general." [3]

Modern Drummer's Mike Haid stated: "You'll find lots of notes on BPM's Delete and Roll, all of them splattered about lengthy and complex Zappa-style compositions... Bozzio shines as he goes deep into his huge kit." [4]
