AllMusic[2]

The AllMusic review by Thom Jurek states: "This double CD documents with a finality just what the quartet had achieved in its eight years together. Braxton had realized within this group of musicians a goal he had previously thought unattainable: the ability to interchange any composition from any of his periods with any other -- and within each other -- in a small group setting. And given the far-reaching musical tenets each of these 'sets of compositions' notated by tracks are, that is no mean feat".[2] The JazzTimes review by John Murph enthused, "this exhausting yet fascinating two-disc adventure transports the listener to a cubist realm of terse tonal manipulations, extreme volume dynamics, and controlled collective chaos".[3]
