Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars with its review by Alex Henderson stating: "This album is quirky and dissonant, but it isn't harsh or confrontational. In avant-garde circles, The Cry! went down in history as one of Lasha's finest accomplishments -- and deservedly so".[2] On All About Jazz, Dave Rickert called it "fine free jazz that succeeds at being adventurous without being demanding".[3]

gollark: Oops, that was accidentally quite insulting.
gollark: If it was actually a good and financially sound idea to run that sort of simple strategy, then presumably the many smart and competent people with more money looking at markets would do that, and thus eliminate any easy strategy available to people like you.
gollark: What of the "efficient market hypothesis"?
