In his review for [[AllMusic]], Phil Freeman notes that "The interactions between the three members of the trio are deeply sensitive. In contrast with Parker and Cleaver's work backing Matthew Shipp on several records from the first half of the 2000s, their playing behind Taborn is less about convulsive rhythm than about atmospheric effects."<ref name="Allmusic">{{allMusic|last=Freeman|first=Phil|class=album|id=mw0002137872|title=Gerald Cleaver – ''Out of This World's Distortions'': Review|accessdate=May 28, 2015}}</ref>
In his review for ''[[JazzTimes]]'' Mike Shanley notes that "While the album runs in circles in a few spots, the trio wins points for showing how spare moments can have just as much merit as the wilder sections of improvisation."<ref name="JazzTimes">Shanley, Mike.
