In a review for AllMusic, Brian Olewnick wrote: "A perfect album for listeners a bit overwhelmed by Last Exit, as well as those who found Baker's or Skopelitis' records well intentioned but a little on the timid side. Recommended."

Christopher R. Weingarten of The New York Times called the collaboration "a perfect, if not obvious, use of Baker's particular skill set, mixing monster chops with monolithic volume," and commented: "A drummer renowned for his muscle sounds downright modest compared to Brötzmann's corrosive sax and Sharrock's abrasive guitar, but Baker's hard-hitting detonations keep this improv grounded on Earth."{{cite web |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2019/10/06/arts/music/ginger-baker-songs.html |title=Ginger Baker's Essential Songs: Listen to 15 Tracks |first=Christopher R. |last=Weingarten |date=October 6, 2019 |website=The New York Times |access-date=May 23, 2023}}

Writing for Bearded Gentlemen Music, Roz Milner remarked: "as a whole, this lineup clicks incredibly well on stage: Brotzmann and Sharrock love to play free and want to push the music into uncharted waters, but the rhythm section of Baker and Kazda generally try to keep things from getting too wild. And in the middle is Skopelitis, whose playing compliments Sharrock's, but also keeps them in line with the rhythm section... It's a nice contrast, neither as intense or hard to listen to as Last Exit can be, but jazzier and more experimental than Baker's work with Air Force or Cream."{{cite web |url=https://beardedgentlemenmusic.com/2016/06/09/ginger-baker-no-material-review |title=Ginger Baker Goes Absolutely Wild on No Material |first=Roz |last=Milner |date=June 9, 2016 |website=Bearded Gentlemen Music |access-date=May 23, 2023}}
