AllMusic[1]
Down Beat[2]

In his review for AllMusic, Alex Henderson states "This CD underscores the fact that not all avant-garde jazz is atonal free jazz; on the whole, this is quite musical and melodic."[1]

The Down Beat review by Larry Birnbaum says "Renaissance of the Resistance redefines the mainstream with wry turns, sly nods, and subtle winks, and its nostalgia extends from Africa to the avant garde."[2]
