Reception The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow said "Tim Berne's music on his CD sometimes looks a little toward Anthony Braxton's free bop lines but also incorporates some electronics, unusual instrumental textures and some just plain weird sounds" and called it an "esoteric yet listenable set".Yanow, S., Allmusic Review accessed October 14, 2014
