200:, Tyran Grillo remarked: "The actions of this duo are kinetic and headstrong. Like muscles of the throat, they twitch in anticipation of speech. Only words never materialize. Graves is, nevertheless, quite vocal at peaks of expression. His hi-hat is the measure of a defibrillating heart, around which sticks converge like bones. The mounting corporeality of his playing underscores the circularity of this meeting. Laswell rides the wave, respectfully and patiently, before chorusing his approval through improvisation." 166:
they have to make adjustments, if that's what they came from, a so-called Western concept, where drums are in the background." Graves continued: "with this particular situation with Bill and myself... our understanding exceeds a single concept of how to play music. So that way, you can have more to say on the instrument, than if you're just playing one particular style of music... So bass and drums? No problem.

Writer Joel Gausten commented: "Although the song's unstructured nature... might be too much for some ears, those who stick around for the ride will be rewarded with a recording that offers new things to uncover with every listen."
180:, Karl Ackermann wrote: "A synergy developed and morphed into a sound that simmered below the surface and then exploded into unique expressions. The scale of their shared ideas is incomparable, dense, and cutting." 508: 447: 246: 676: 671: 681: 611: 579: 549: 516: 488: 440: 524: 158: 480: 666: 620: 404: 189: 433: 352: 149: 72: 300: 591: 645: 500: 153: 113: 616: 556: 561: 545: 124: 28: 603: 596: 541: 456: 219: 176: 141: 41: 378: 660: 529: 493: 225: 145: 108: 45: 466:
