The AllMusic review by Brian Flota awarded the album 4½ stars stating "these performances are not easy to listen to, given their time-free chaos, but the emotional impact of the playing achieved here, like Gayle's other work, is unrivaled".[2]
In an article for the Los Angeles Times, Don Snowden wrote that Gayle "unleashes fierce scale runs and multiphonic squawks over a furious cello/bass/ drums foundation. 'Glorious Saints' and Gayle's bass clarinet feature 'Thy Peace' work best because a greater attention to dynamics leaves enough open space for the music to breathe."[4]
