Reception

In a review for All About Jazz, Helmut Koch called the recording "an excellent crossover album at the fringe of jazz, fusion, avant-garde prog-rock and their numerous sub-genres," and wrote: "Delete and Roll is out and out off-mainstream, an interesting and adventurous amalgam of various musical influences and a brave statement of non-conformist creativity in general."{{cite web |url=https://www.allaboutjazz.com/delete-and-roll-terry-bozzio-next-generation-enterprises-review-by-helmut-koch |title=Bozzio Preinfalk Machacek (BPM): Delete And Roll |first=Helmut |last=Koch |date=July 23, 2002 |website=All About Jazz |access-date=November 2, 2022}}

Modern Drummer's Mike Haid stated: "You'll find lots of notes on BPM's Delete and Roll, all of them splattered about lengthy and complex Zappa-style compositions... Bozzio shines as he goes deep into his huge kit."{{cite magazine |last=Haid |first=Mike |date=December 2002 |title=Lighting the Fuse |magazine=Modern Drummer |pages=161}}
