In his review for AllMusic, Alex Henderson states: "Perelman is no stranger to atonality, but this time, he goes the 'inside/outside' route. Although some of the 'outside' passages are blistering, he pays a great deal of attention to melody and sounds absolutely delighted by the melodies he's interpreting."{{allMusic|last=Henderson|first=Alex|class=album|id=mw0000043335|title=Ivo Perelman – Sound Hierarchy: Review|accessdate=October 7, 2015}}
The Penguin Guide to Jazz wrote that the album "is an interesting departure, but it's only intermittently effective."{{cite book|last = Cook|first = Richard|author-link = Richard Cook (journalist)|author2=Brian Morton |authorlink2=Brian Morton (Scottish writer) |title = The Penguin Guide to Jazz on CD|orig-date = |edition = 6th|series = The Penguin Guide to Jazz|year = 2002|publisher = Penguin|location = London|isbn = 0-14-051521-6|pages = 1176}}
