The Allmusic review by Brian Olewnick stated:

Unlike many of the other documented recordings of this group, the material, with the exception of the closing track, consisted entirely of (at the time) recently composed pieces. Since much of Braxton's writing in the early '90s involved the exploration of very fluid and expansive sound territories, there are none of his infectious, bop-derived numbers or any plaintively emotional ballads. Instead we have a series of fairly knotty compositions where the thematic elements are elusive, recurring melodies rare and regular meter almost non-existent. All of which makes for one of the more challenging recordings by this quartet, requiring of the listener an approach perhaps more suited to contemporary classical music than to jazz.

Personnel
gollark: Approval voting is effectively a subset of score voting where you can only give 0 or 1.
gollark: EACH PERSON gives each option a score of 0 to 5, I mean, and they're all summed up.
gollark: You give each option an arbitrary score from 0 to 5 or something and whichever gets the highest total wins.
gollark: That idea of resource allocation doesn't seem very good, though.
gollark: Although score voting is simple too and apparently might be better.
