Reception

Karl Ackermann in All About Jazz gave a four and a half stars to this album and says that "Putting Silk and Salt Melodies in the context of Sclavis' larger body of work is somewhat irrelevant; he builds, incorporates and moves on. It's a good philosophy for listening as well."[1]
In The Guardian, John Fordham gave this album four stars and says that "The Frenchman [Louis Sclavis] is one of the most consistently satisfying, yet surprising jazz-driven composer-players in Europe" and that "The playing is terrific, but – as so often with Sclavis – the themes are even better.".[2]
