Reviewing for The Village Voice in September 2004, Tom Hull called Gwotet as "a foray into pan-African cosmopolitanism" and "a nonstop riot of rhythm and horns".[4]
The AllMusic review by Scott Yanow stated, "Freed from playing jazz standards or very free improvisations, Murray really thrives in this exotic setting . . . 'Gwotet', 'Ouagadougou', and 'Djolla Feeling' are high points, but there are no slow moments during the infectious set of danceable but somewhat unclassifiable music."[2]
