| Allmusic |   [3] |
| Down Beat |  [4] |
The Allmusic site awarded the album 4½ stars.[3] Down Beat stated "Unity is a brooding, darkly moody excursion into tonal and rhythmic (both drummers play simultaneously) impressionism. The trouble is that it never gets beyond the immediate impressionistic moment into a larger design above and beyond the performances".[5]
