Stereophile's Fred Kaplan stated "Ipos is an oddball in the Zorn oeuvre but instantly and thoroughly appealing. The album’s star is Ribot, strumming and twanging his guitar in a Hawaiian style that sounds more like the hip-retro rock of the Lounge Lizards (no coincidence, as Ribot once played in that group), alternating with quasi-minimalist tunes that, unlike much in the genre, is genuinely riveting. It’s a record that will keep you dancing in your head and on the floor".Kaplan, F. [ Stereophile Review], Stereophile, September 6, 2010 Mark Shikuma reviewed the album noting "Zorn has presented his most assessable "rock" record to date, providing an excellent head start on summer soundtracks. Ipos, as a result, is yet another impressive addition to the epic catalogue Zorn has amassed in a relatively short amount of time. With the "Masada" series, he has found a multitude of approaches in deconstructing Jewish folk songs, constantly bringing different formations together. Because of this, Zorn never seems to be simply re-treading old ideas".Shikuma, M. [ Ipos: Book of Angels 14], North Coast Journal, April 15, 2010 The Free Jazz Collective stated "The compositions are fresh, the melodies easy in the ear, the playing crisp... and the rhythms, well, the rhythms ... are magnificent as usual, putting you in all kinds of moods and inclinations to dance, despite the dark undertones of the music."Stef, [ The Free Jazz Collective Review], Free Jazz Collective, April 21, 2010
