Michael G. Nastos of AllMusic gave Zenhouse four stars of five, describing the music as "displaying a characteristic effortless flow, patience, and virtue closely associated with the music of Ravi Shankar, Oregon, or Shakti", whilst suggesting to casual listeners that "those expecting and wanting only the rock loudness these three have displayed before, however, will be disappointed."[1]
