AllMusic 4/5 stars[3]
LA Times 3/5 stars[4]

The AllMusic review by Michael G. Nastos says, "The music is progressive at times and too commercial at others. His best work lies ahead".[3] The LA Times' Don Snowden noted "This CD could easily be a mutant mess if not for female vocalist D.K. Dyson, a shining beacon. Roberts doesn't hog the spotlight and his compositions ably negotiate juxtapositions which are often jarring but rarely forced".[4]
