Reception
In a review for AllMusic, Glenn Astarita wrote: "Holdsworth's climactically driven legato-based riffs are intact, as he also implements jazzy chord voicings and delicately stated fabrics of sound. But the trio raises the ante throughout many of these pieces, awash with moments of nuance and controlled firepower."
The Guardians John Fordham stated that Holdsworth's "atmospheric ambient-chord sounds over cymbal washes are very dramatic... and the range of his melodic imagination backed by storming technique is always breathtaking." However, he noted: "there's just too much unbroken heavy-metalwork and wall-to-wall drums."
Writing for JazzTimes, Stuart Nicholson remarked: "Virtually cliché-free, Holdswoth isn't someone you can categorize... His uncompromising music doesn't come to you; you have to go to it."
Matt Fripp of Jazzfuel called the album "electrifying," serving as "a great introduction to Allan Holdsworth's musical style." He commented: "Virtuosic legato single line passages weave in and out of complex time signatures, the rhythm section of Wackerman and Johnson interacting throughout with Holdsworth."
