Allmusic[4]

The Allmusic review by Stewart Mason stated "(Birmingham) 1985 is probably the least essential of the four double-disc sets that Leo devoted to Anthony Braxton's November 1985 tour of Great Britain. Of course, the hardcore Braxton fans who this release is designed for will want it because this tour of Braxton's Forces of Motion Quartet looms fairly large in the composer's legend".[4]
