The Allmusic review by arwulf arwulf stated "This marvelous set of rituals for prepared piano and percussion is the ideal prologue to Bärtsch's subsequent ensemble realizations. It is highly recommended".[2] On All About Jazz Budd Kopman noted "Hishiryo obviously stands out because the instrumentation is solo piano. However, its main interest is that one can clearly see the results of Bartsch the composer at work. With the exception of moduls "TM" and "6," all of the moduls appear on other, mostly earlier records. We are thus given a fascinating glimpse into the music in its nakedness, before it is arranged for Mobile or Ronin".[3]
