Reception

The All About Jazz review by John Sharpe states "For those who make the effort Mitchell creates a raft of strange and mesmerizing soundscapes, but the journey may be too daunting for the casual listener."[1]

The Point of Departure review by Michael Rosenstein says "In lesser hands, this could easily devolve into episodic dalliance. But, the three maintain a collective focus throughout."[2]
