John W. Patterson at All About Jazz gave Jennifer Batten's Tribal Rage: Momentum a glowing review, saying "I've never heard anyone do anything quite like Batten's continuous stream of note-bending, tapping, swells, controlled feedback, harmonics, and lightning-fast riffs." He likened the album to Batten's popular guitarist peers, but also that "She goes beyond [Steve] Vai's insane excursions and tops it off by tipping her hat and then running past [Joe] Satriani's finer weirdness." Praise was also given to her supporting musicians: "There is some seriously cool bass work and severely challenging percussion happening here as well."[2]

gollark: more reactors, using output from the last one.
gollark: Then add MORE FUEL CYCLES!
gollark: Also a wind turbine for backup.
gollark: My long-term plans: The `Deus Volt` power station, consisting of enough max-size reactors to cycle through most of the renewable fuels, giant power buffers for them, power routing controls, (obviously) fuel production, and also Botania mana production.
gollark: My fission *can* do 70kRF/t or so, I mean, and my fusion 600kRF/t.
