reception
Brian Olewnick gave the album four stars in Allmusic and said that the musicians were all up to the task, but the "stars" of the album were the compositions themselves, scrutinizing and muscular, which offer a new path through the stasis that is centered of the 90s in some avant jazz circles.
"At times almost moderate, there is an exemplary use of the group as a unit, with a piece like 'The Mark Inside' offering a kind of jaundice in the jazz tradition," wrote Richard Cook and Brian Morton ( The Penguin Guide to Jazz ).
Paul Youngquist noted that The Vandermark 5 , Vandermark's central band from 1997 to 2010, received the legacy of improvisation like a birthright, "churning and rattling hot noises for the sheer joy of passing on their intensity."
In the downbeat -Rezension Aaron Cohen states, "Vandermark's themes are often based on endearing riffs that are not only cute and offer a living framework for the mobility of each artist."
