In his review for AllMusic, Paula Edelstein states "New Orbit is an excellent delivery of avant-garde and free jazz that remains uncompromising, unrelenting, and totally individual." [2]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz says that "The music is becoming more obviously accessible, yet more mysterious at the same time - a fascinating agenda." [3]

In his review for PopMatters , Andrew Johnson notes "Clocking in at a little under forty minutes, one of the most attractive aspects of Matthew Shipp's New Orbit is its brevity and focus." [5]
