In his review for AllMusic, David R. Adler states "Prism is not as memorable as Shipp's later, more eclectic work, but it's still a significant statement."[1] The Penguin Guide to Jazz says that "the two long pieces suggest, as usual in this period, that Shipp was trying out, discarding and picking up again all manner of ideas."[2] The All About Jazz review by Glenn Astarita states "Prism is a relatively strong and noteworthy addition to Matthew Shipp's increasingly significant legacy."[3]
