In his review for AllMusic, David R. Adler states: "David S. Ware's second Columbia release is characteristically aggressive and anguished, but it is not atonal... Ware's music contains more conventional harmony, melody, and rhythm than is often supposed". [4] All About Jazz writer Glenn Astarita wrote: "All in all, Surrendered might truly represent one of Ware’s finest recordings to date as no two songs sound alike which makes for a divergent and noteworthy mix while Steven Joerg’s sharp and insightful production only enhances the overall scenario. In any event, if you’ve been a bit skittish or reluctant to delve into David S. Ware’s musical world, Surrendered might signify an appropriate place to start". [3]
