In his review for AllMusic, arwulf arwulf said "Anyone who knows and loves modern creative improvised music is sure to be moved by the combination of hearts and minds preserved on this recording".[3]
The All About Jazz review noted "Planetary Unknown marks the first time this quartet played together, though that isn't apparent, given the music's deep roots and connections... the program has the air of a twenty-first century classic about it".[4] The JazzTimes review by Mike Shanley commented "Although no one actually leads the session, Ware’s personality—or perhaps his strong tone—seems to direct much of the proceedings".[5]
