Matt Collar of AllMusic wrote: "they craft sonically adventurous tracks that wouldn't sound out of place at a rave, but they also feature plenty of propulsive, harmonically nuanced improvisation. Much of this is due to Garrett's crisp, motivic style and his kinetic lines push nicely off Svoy's textured, groove-based soundscapes."[3]
