Down Beat[3]

The Down Beat review by Peter Margasak notes, "Laubrock has created a work of remarkable density, both in terms of ideas and physical sound, and it yields greater dividends with each spin."[3]

The All About Jazz review by John Sharpe states, "For this line up Laubrock takes her enigmatic charts for groups such as Anti-house and Ubatuba to another level, as improv jazz meets the classical avant-garde in pieces where mood and texture often trump individual pyrotechnics."[4]
