Reception

In his review for AllMusic, Dave Lynch notes that, "even as the music lingers in a free rhythmic zone with fragmented, initially hesitant motifs, the sonic puzzle pieces fit together with a combination of improvisational looseness and the clear-cut intention of chamberesque modern composition, with nothing out of place." The '' Down Beat'' review by Shaun Brady states, "The sound of the quintet conjures a chamber ensemble in a state of decay, their grace and elegance evident but their tensions being revealed in enlightening fashion."Brady, Shaun. ''Capricorn Climber'' review. ''Down Beat'' July 13: page 56. Print. In a double review for '' JazzTimes'' Lloyd Sachs says, "The quintet alternates between wide tonal brush strokes and brisk melodies, free-floating effects and knotty inventions."Sachs, Lloyd
