303:, Ken Waxman commented: "Moving among his extended percussion kit... Drake manipulates and maneuvers them to confirm why his rhythmic aptitude is in demand literally throughout the world." Regarding the two-part "Bindu #1 for Ed Blackwell," he remarked: "both contain the sort of funky, pared-to-the-bone riffing that wouldn't have been unfamiliar to Count Basie's or any other Southwestern territory band reed section. Off-kilter foot-tappers, they highlight irregular vibrated split tones and glottal punctuates from one altoist, double tongued, overblown honks from one of the tenorists and intense ornamentation from a clarinetist as Drake supplies triple-metered Africanized beats."

312:, Mike Wood noted that, on the album, Drake "is much more meditative and hermetic as some of his other work." He wrote: "Drawing on his study of Sufism and Buddhism more explicitly than in other contexts, Drake extends his past work, claiming it in surprising ways, as if showing what he has learned and what he aims to now teach."

singled out "Remembering
Rituals," a flute and percussion duet, for praise, describing Mitchell as "the rare flautist inventive enough to carry such an extended percussion piece."
286:
s Ollie Bivens called the album "an enjoyable listen," but suggested that it "is best enjoyed in portions—the parts being better than the whole."
