In a review for AllMusic, Glenn Astarita wrote: "the band moves forward with the power of a rumbling freight train here.... The band's synergistic approach consists of massive sheets of sound and sweeping undercurrents, as the musicians navigate a plethora of peaks, valleys, and swirling cadenzas... they spur each other through heated moments to complement a few sanguine interludes. Murphy shines radiantly thanks to his relentless attack, awash with tumbling, polyrhythmic-type fills and stinging press rolls. The group engages a modus operandi that is founded upon maddening flurries and verbose exchanges. And despite the rather serious implications, this is a fun-filled affair. Recommended."

The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album 3½ stars, and commented: "The Enarre trio have worked together before and... they were clearly bursting to play: one piece, "SFERICS", passes the 30-minute mark with no apparent loss of energy or — more surprisingly — invention. Murphy can stoke up some terrific bouts of noise at the kit, although for much of the way he's happy to play more sparsely... Futterman is as fulsome as usual, but Killion is perhaps the most interesting contributor, favouring the bow over the fingers and finding a powerful middle ground between cello and bass terrain."
