In a review for AllMusic, Ken Dryden wrote: "The music throughout [Sic] is quite impressive, easily eclipsing most of what passes for instrumental rock or jazz fusion. Highly recommended." [4]
Writing for All About Jazz , John Kelman stated: "Machacek's remarkable blend of advanced composition, masterful technique, and total musicality makes [Sic], quite simply, an instant classic that transcends genre-typing, and one of the best records of the year." [5]
After listening to the album, guitarist John McLaughlin said: "Alex Machacek's music starts where other music ends." [6]
All tracks composed by Alex Machacek.
