In his review for AllMusic, Thom Jurek notes "Dickey's own timekeeping is also full of dynamic control and keeps the entire process of unfolding within the linguistic sensibilities of hard-swinging jazz."[2]
The All About Jazz review by Clifford Allen states "Dickey is not, with this ensemble, presenting a dramatic new concept in improvised music, as his compositional style runs the gamut from driving free-bop to pastoral tone poems."[4]
In a review for JazzTimes Chris Kelsey says "Dickey has a huge jazz percussion vocabulary. He swings in about as many ways as is possible, and he's got a fine touch and big ears."[5]
