The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek states "The most beautiful thing about Holon is how "live" it all feels. You can see in the mind's eye and fully hear this music in a setting where an audience is urging the band on, not just listening, but moving. How much better does it get than that? The more things stay the same in Ronin, the more they change."Jurek, T. [http://www.allmusic.com/album/holon-mw0000586405 Allmusic Review] accessed December 2, 2013
