The Down Beat review by Bill Meyer states "You can find elements from throughout the AACM’s history on the quintet’s second album, from Roscoe Mitchell’s distillations of pure sound to Nicole Mitchell’s widescreen, pan-generic orchestrations; but that’s simply foundation."[1]
In a review for All About Jazz, Troy Collins says "A compelling album filled with myriad moods, The Speed of Change is a welcome reminder of the rich variety a capable composer can draw from an unorthodox instrumental line-up."[2]
