Reception

The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars stating "If ever a recording needed to be trumpeted from the rooftops, it's this one... Though it's over an hour, Beyond Quantum is over all too quickly. It never once feels like an endurance test, and the flood of creativity, passion, and direct communication between participants leaves the listener not breathless, but astonished. This is a serious contender for vanguard jazz recording of 2008".[2]
